they are all right and wrong at the same time.
Yes of course who is wrong who is right? Disinformation, seeking profit, everything is there to sow discord.
I come back to my report, sorry, I think it came from the WHO. But I guess you don't give it more credit than the UN.

Monsanto is the perfect example of possible abuses in GMOs and it is true that we should not generalize. But it is then up to the legislator, always very objective as we have seen (hum, hum ..), whether in the USA or in France, to strictly regulate research, development and production of GMOs.
-Do you have enough confidence in the legislators in place in your country? Me no.
-Do you think that they are in majority sufficiently honest and independent to guarantee ABOVE ALL the good of the citizens? Me no.
-Do you think they are mostly curious and critical enough to analyze for themselves a thick file of several directories without being scientists? Me no.
-Do you think they always have ALL the information in their study files? not necessarily.
-Do you think they are well surrounded by sufficiently honest and independent advisers? Not necessarily.
In short, what happened in the US for Monsanto can happen anywhere in the world. The EU has granted authorization for the cultivation of GMO Monsanto when it should have reconsidered the conditions for granting US authorizations (after viewing the film "the world according to Monsanto"). Europe cannot ignore the way Monsanto GMOs have been legalized in the US. She shouldn't have been satisfied with it, but it must have been the subject of grim business discussions; one only has to see the US reaction to the French frost of Monsanto corn.
Therefore for me, the common rule is not to trust because we can no longer trust a democratic system whose only law is money and profit, even before the notions of public health and respect for human nature.
So even if it means going back to cave times, I prefer to apply the precautionary principle.
