3. This is so important

Those who are against GMOs are because of the detriment to the environment, other crops, and likely the human microbiome. And yet we are called crazy woo pushers. Well, it seems as though scientists not on the payroll of big Ag have some concerns as well.

This is all most advocates want:

1) Further testing - independent, comprehensive, and long-term.
2) Labeling - every person has the absolute right to know what is in her food and how it is grown.

What argument could anyone except those who stand to profit have with those two items?
