Back to Basics

In my previous post I talked about corn being Genetically Modified (GM).  This is from Wikipedia...

"The Grocery Manufacturers of America estimate that 75% of all processed foods in the U.S. contain a GM ingredient.  In particular, Bt corn, which produces the pesticide within the plant itself, is widely grown, as are soybeans genetically designed to tolerate glyphosate herbicides."

There is no harm in eating GM crops, though there have not been that many studies done about it. 
Most GM crops are grown to with-stand the pesticides they will later be sprayed with.  If that same crop were grown organically, or like we have grown crops for 10,000 years, then that same crop would be more nutrient dense because it would have to fight and struggle to survive and reproduce.  While GM crops are not are nutrient dense because they don't have to try as hard to survive.
Why are we growing crops that do not have as many nutrients as they did 60 years ago? 
Does that seem backwards or is it just me?
