This headline slightly overgeneralizes. From ArsTechnica’s coverage[0]: To replicate this finding and expand its scope, the researchers performed a similar survey in the US, Germany, and France. The results in the US were the same, and the researchers also saw genetic literacy go down as the vehemence of GMO opposition went up. But there was a subtle difference. In the two European countries, the gap between actual knowledge and self-assessed knowledge no longer correlated with the strength of opposition. In other words, the strongest GMO opponents in Germany and France may not have known much about genetics, but they were at least a bit more realistic about their lack of knowledge. 0: (https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/01/on-gmo-safety-the-fiercest-opponents-understand-the-least/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/01/on-gmo-safety-the-fi...)
