Anti-nuclear is like anti-GMO and anti-vax: pure ignorance, and fear of that which they don’t understand.

First of all anti- #GMO stances are often derived from anti-Bayer-Monsanto stances (as there is no transparency about whether Monsanto is in the supply chain). It would either require pure ignorance or distaste for humanity to support that company with its pernicious history and future intent to take control over the world’s food supply.
Then within the anti-GMO camp, you have people that are anti-all-GMO, and those who are anti-risky-GMO. Apart from boycotting a bad player, it’s pure technological ignorance to regard all GMO equally safe or equally unsafe. GMO is an umbrella of many techniques. Some of those techniques are as low risk as cross-breeding in ways that can happens in nature. Other invasive techniques are extremely risky & experimental. You’re wiser if you separate the different GMO techniques and accept the low risk ones while condemning the foolishly risky approaches.
