I can't say that I support GMO, or that I don't support GMO. As the post mentions, not all GMO are created equal. Round-up Ready crops are not the same as drought-tolerant crops so there's little use grouping them together for debate. GMO can increase crop yield, but it can also increase the suceptibility to disease by decreasing variance. It would be easy to label GMO food products as such. I would personally like to know, because there are times that I would actually investigate the type of GMO that was employed. The problem with labeling people as 'GMO truthers', is that you ignore the possibility that someone has uncovered a genuine case of harmful GMO, which is very possible (as the author concedes).
