In reply to the discussion: Antivaccine versus anti-GMO: Different goals, same methods [View all]Buzz Clik
(38,437 posts)9. Are you worried about the GMOs or the pesticides?
Pesticides are applied to both GMO and non-GMO crops, and their impact on humans is independent of whether or not the crop is GMO. Plenty to be worried about with pesticides.
No scientific basis for worrying about the health impacts of the GMOs themselves.

I disagree. I think both attitudes are the result of unfounded fear based on bad science.
