I'm almost convinced those organizations don't give a shit about the actual product; the only thing that entices them to attack these companies is that they feel once introduced these "super-crops" will monopolize the food industry. An example being Golden Rice: once in production will this become the de facto rice product because of its health benefits? The intention is to stave off a company from becoming even more wealthy and ascertaining influence upon the populace. Unfortunately, they're a bit misguided in their seemingly altruistic motives, especially when they pass it off as some kind of pseudo-science battle against genetic mutation and possible health complications from the consumption of genetically modified food. As of right now, nearly all the commercially grown corn and soy in the US is from GMO crops. It's more about keeping these companies away from profits more than anything else. The food industry is already out of control and dominated by processed, prepackaged treats that we wolf down en mass, so who gives a shift if higher up the food chain some fat cats make more cash. The consumer shouldn't really care because if they did potato chips and chicken nuggets wouldn't be the staple foods in America.
