Where "precautionary principle" means not using them because people actively lie about how safe they are and then agitate to force labels on them. You might just as well label vaccines with WARNING: PROTEINS and then spread misinformation about how injecting proteins causes autism-cancer.
Precaution, taken on its own, is fine. In the context of GMOs, it means implicitly accepting a whole raft of lies.
