Everyone who proclaims themselves to be a scientist should trash non-sense 'science'.

GMOs are perfectly safe and beneficial. There is no dispute about the safety of GMOs as a class. Feel free to pick apart the corporations and individual crops though.

Why should we not focus on the vehicles of these corporations' avarice, though?

It's like saying "hey don't diss DIVX [1] but instead those who created it".

No, products and production methods that are questionable should be critiqued.

Also, follow the money. It seems to work almost every single time.
