It's not so clear cut as it seems that anti-GMO needs to be anti-scientific. For instance the agroindustry wanted GMOs to simply be treated the same as the non-modified Organisms, without any additional analysis. This would make it legal to add genes for the production of toxins and it would be still seen as the same thing (This is exactly what is happening with the commonly transplanted BT-gene, just that the toxin is harmless for humans). Then - this is what the article is about - there are concerns of how the technology is used. Most genetically engineered plants today are either just glyphosate tolerant or carry the BT-gene, while the industry claims that gene modification reduces the need for pesticides.
