>propaganda by the anti-GMO crowd

Is this a well-funded crowd, full of large corporate support? What do they have to gain with their 'propaganda' exactly?

No, it's a collective of small companies who profit off the stupidity and false-validation of anti-GMO "activists". Every time a anti-GMOer googles "Why GMOs are bad" and clicks the first link someone who is pushing that propaganda gets paid.

Hm. I don't think you understand how Google's paid SE placement works (i.e. Google gets paid by the so-called propagandists to place those links).

Just FYI, I used to do research where I spliced genes for a certain enzyme into yeast in order to study the enzymatic mechanism, so I'm not exactly uninformed.
