Agreed.

I'm not against GMOs. I think the concept has merit and much potential. However, I also think the purported claims are vastly over-inflated at present.

The major contributors (or at least the most visible ones) to GMO science are by and large corrupt as hell, which puts a heavily negative face on the topic. Take Dow Chemical, Monsanto, Conagra and a few other big names out of the picture, along with their corrupt business practices, and people will start to consider the validity of the science behind GMOs.

Great link BTW.
