Contrary to (popular?) belief, woo does exist.

17. There are three different types of people who oppose or are ambivalent...

about GMO's, the first are people like me, who are concerned about the legal framework of the patent system that allows living organisms to be patented, along with discoveries, and the ramifications this can have on seed sharing and seed contracts in the future. This is why I'm mostly ambivalent about GMO's, I'd be much more supportive if the law caught up with the technology in a fair and equitable way. And increased transparency.

The second type is the rational opposition, usually those concerned about certain issues(such as food allergies) that may not have been studied enough yet for complete support or dispersal.

Then there is the third type, the irrational opposition, the ones claiming that GMO's cause cancer or numerous other ailments, typically use terms like frankenfood, that there is some type of conspiracy to poison everyone's food(including the conspirators, that never made sense), etc.

My problem is that too many of the type 2's support the type 3's, including propping up quack doctors, discredited research, conspiracy theories, alternative "medicine", etc.
