I think the main hang up with the GMO debate is skewed perception of what GMOs are. It has become "on purpose" over simplified in order to distract from obvious detrimental GMOs. Common and often used as anti-GMO debunking material are the GMOs concerning disease resistance modifications and genetic modifications to make plants grow better in various environments. These are very positive GMOs that also include nutritional enhanced food also. However, these are often used to distract from the obvious GMOs that are harmful, such as modified seeds with pesticides or herbicides with in them. Those are been proven to have detrimental environmental affects, and one derivative of them been shown to help cause Hive Abandonment Syndrome in bees (with other factors coming to play.). To examine the GMO ethnicity we need more independent scientific studies without Monsanto backed studies or activist backed ones. Sadly those are hard to find.
