While that variety of GMO crop tolerates and may even encourage the use of RoundUp, the RoundUp-Ready farming model displaces many, many more herbicides.  "More" can be measured either in number of different chemicals used or in total volume used.  By either measure, it's far below the chemical exposure used on a traditionally-treated crop.
