GMO science gets a hard time because it precisely documents the changes made to nature. It seems illogical to regulate GMO so heavily but let farmers use antiobiotics, pesticides, herbicides etc (which have actually been proven to be harmful in a myriad of ways, and alter genetic material in the ecosystem). There also needs to be a sense of magnitude when it comes to harm. The amount of human suffering caused by alcohol, tobacco and refined sugar is far far greater than even the most apocalyptic GMO safety disaster, but we don't demand 10 years safety data for eg. a new Mountain Dew flavour, or e-cigarettes. It's also disingenuous to claim that GMO isn't needed if we adopt sustainable farming, when the economics and scale of industrial farming make this fantasy impossible.
