31. She's actually not much of a scientist.

In fact, it has been found that she has overstated her credentials. Also, almost everything she has said about GMOs has turned out to be false.

In general, while she feigns goodness, she appears to be a classic charlatan.

I could go on and on with links, but I think you get the point.

Can anti-GMO people please offer the evidence that supports their claims, once and for all? If not, can they please stop working against a technology that does not appear to be evil, based on the evidence, and might just help people?
