A point-by-point discussion of some of the problems with the claims made by anti-GMO activists. I note that the criticisms I found of the below were filled with bad argumentation, including ad hominem attacks. I suppose the two authors could very well be paid Monsanto shills, but their arguments seem quite compelling.

GMOs And Bad Science
In honor of a friend's dickhead friend, I'm going to post a few articles about the problems with the anti-GMO reactionaries. This does not mean I think GMOs are 100% safe, or that we shouldn't label, or that Monsanto is a commune of angels. It means that I value science, not emotion, in trying to make choices, especially public policy choices.
