    I totally agree, science shouldn't take the blame for corporate irresponsibility and there are anti-GMO activists focused on these two distinct objectives.
Then they shouldn't be labeled anti GMO activists, they should be labeled anti-Monsanto (etc) activists.

If Monsanto were using toothpaste as a way to corner markets and do really evil stuff you wouldn't be anti-toothpaste protestors, you'd be anti-Monsanto protesters. -Maybe not the best analogy, but point is modifying organisms genetically isn't good or bad, it's indifferent but the companies employing this ability can be good or bad.

Please see one of my previous comments, which explains why some people object the process of genetic engineering as a whole.
