Well, people made up their minds - whatcha gonna do? Saying that it's unfair is a bit stupid. It's business...
However, stuff like this could really impact future advances in food production (which the world needs). I still don't get what's the BFD about avoiding GM products - I think it's one of the best things to happen to humanity (how many people didn't die from starvation and how inexpensive is food today - all because of GM crops).
Cloned meat receives the same treatment, when in reality it could be the next best thing for both people and nature...
GM crops, including "roundup-ready" Bt corn have been banned in France, Germany, and other countries. GM crops have been topics of studies that have linked GM food to organ failure, autism, and vitamin deficiency. The pesticides used along side these large, unnatural monoculture crops have been linked to colony collapse disorder and potentially the single driving factor in dying bee populations.
I'm not surprised to find a pro-GMO attitude on a technology site, but there are always two sides. Unfortunately on one you get fear mongering, but on the other you get propaganda from those that directly profit from you agreeing with them.
