anti-GMO means more pesticides, antibiotics, etc.
GMOs are much safer and environmentally friendly solution to pesticides, herbicides, etc.
Don’t even get me started on anti-nuclear (and it is off-topic here)
GMOs is a large category. Some GMOs, like those that derive their genes from other edible plants are pretty safe. Yet other GMOs might not be. You can't be in favor of all GMOs as some sort of panacea. Instead you should be in favor of them on a case-by-case basis where what gene is added from where to produce what. Adding genes to plants so that they are resistant to greater amounts of herbicide to me sounds like a bad idea as does adding proteins that kill a broad range of insects. Also ownership is a rather large issue... in that plants should not be owned by large corporations that then control the livelihoods of farmers and the food supply.

of course. And both 3 need regulations, oversight and control. But what we often see is silly anti-x propaganda
