I agree in large part. However,

    The problem with labeling people as 'GMO truthers', is that you ignore the possibility that someone has uncovered a genuine case of harmful GMO, which is very possible (as the author concedes).

Let's let biologists do that, not stay-at-home moms with Facebook.

Are you a biologist? ;)

There's a number of people in between (including us), that can have reasonable discussions on the issues. Farmers, for instance. In fact, some of the aspects are out of the realm of most biologists. Leaving it to the experts is difficult when the issue is so wide-ranging and complex. Especially when there are multiple competing interests.

Sure. But I would hope the biologists are the most objective experts (not the ones who work in the industry).
