People were freaking out over terminator seeds, claiming it was going to (somehow) spread to other things and end all life on earth.
Monsanto responded by pledging not to use terminator seeds. The anti-GMO crowd got exactly what they wanted. [1]
It's churlish for the mob to claim they were bad for wanting to use terminator seeds, and then claim that they don't have protection because they didn't use terminator seeds.

- talmand 14y agoI don't consider myself part of a mob. It seems that since Monsanto's seeds are spreading into farmer's fields that did not intend to have them then I would say the fear of the terminator seeds spreading might be valid. I would think the anti-GMO crowd's point is that they don't want gene spliced seeds at all in the first place.
