Part of the problem with having such a discussion is the conflation of "GMO" with "Glyphosate resistant GMO". There's a lot more than just what Monsanto made to sell RoundUp. Yet a large number of people want to only talk about those, while claiming to talk about the entire subject.

After all, it's the only question you bring up as an example while discussing the need to broaden the discussion.

We're going to get better and better at manipulating DNA. Including our own. We better have a much larger discussion than "Monsanto Bad!"
