What do you think of GMO's?

[HopOnPop]

I am quite relieved to read that the vast majority of people here are pretty well informed about GMOs. Like so much else in our society -- nutrition, healthcare, food supplements, energy production, the benefits of sleeping nude.... -- the amount of utter shit that usually gets discussed when the topic of GMOs comes up is simply so damned irrelelvant (i.e. "not even wrong") it serves no purpose whatsoever. It merely keeps people "barefoot and ignorant" by distract them from actually learning about and considering the REAL issues that do matter to GMO. Its akin to fear-mongering....which often applies to GMO discussions too, but often is just "bullshit-mongering." I am often left wondering, who (if any) is benefitting from this overwhelming campaign to keeping people ignorant and distracted?
