I Used to Work as a Scientist with GMOs—Now I'm Having Serious Second Thoughts About The Risks

148. Criticized by scientists whose grants are funded by the industry?

Your links are to mostly industry-backed front groups. The only legitimate link is to the AAAS statement that was very controversial and heavily criticized. Professional groups have weighed in:

And there is considerable bias found in industry-backed R&D as opposed to independent R&D:

Not to mention that the FDA and USDA are currently lousy with agri-business execs:

I don't wish to be part of someone else's biology experiment. If GMOs are so great, they'd want to be advertising that fact. The reasons are never good for hiding information.

And again, what problem was the widespread use of GM plants supposed to solve? Appears that pesticide/herbacide use is going up, not down...
