This is the general feeling that I am getting too. I was introduced to the discourse many years ago and a very large part of the discourse was simply being able to identify science behind GMO's (in its various forms: corporate, pseudo, etc.) and the ethical implications on such things.
Are "GMO's" horrible because Monsanto has paid developers and researchers to develop GMO's to their specific needs, for the purpose of profiting? Or are GMO's bad in themselves?
It's surprising how many people are too ignorant to draw the distinction between the two.
