I have always been under the impression that Monsanto is not hated because of GMOs, but because they aggressively file suit against farmers who save or re-use patented seeds, including in cases where the defendant may not have done so deliberately or consciously. 1

That's always been my take on it too. It's not the science, it's their business practices. This is a bummer because it gives GMO an unnecessary bad name. The science itself may have negative consequences when applied in certain ways, I think the jury is largely still out on much of that but because Monsanto is a dick to people -GMO is evil.
