I think the point of the post is to show scientific evidence against yet another common claim by anti-GMO people. Maybe you haven't seen it, but a lot of people who are anti-GMO like to use cancer as a potential negative when they argue against GMO foods. I see no problem with battling potentially false claims one at a time with scientific data. Why is it when someone shows themselves to NOT be anti-GMO , they're always accused of having some agenda. Did this person say they are against organic food production? Why do you automatically make that jump?

It has been reported time and time again that organic food production will not be able to sustain the expanding world population. If you want to farm organically for yourself, that's fine. But GMO foods have a better chance of producing food to support the hungry of our world. And being in support of GMO foods does not mean you are against organic food production. A rational person would realize that the one equal the other.
