26. I'd bet the SHOVE-IT-DOWN-YOUR-THROAT-WITHOUT-YOUR-KNOWLEDGE stance of the corporations is a factor

Not to mention the great many studies that show GMO harm to the environment, to farm animals, as well as the highly suspicious onslaught of degenerative diseases that have afflicted human beings in greatly increased rates of incidence since the surreptitious introduction of GMO foods against public will. That's my 2 cents worth of an answer.

But there are probably a lot of other factors as well. Do all the studies you refer to conclude that concern over GMOs is unfounded? NO. Not at all. But if you are sincerely interested in knowing a complete answer to your question, you'll have to do your own research. Different people have different reasons, and most of them are valid.
