This is what propaganda accomplishes.

Doesn't matter how fake the information is, say it enough and the majority believes it, in this case people see "GMO" and they right away think of a mad scientist going from tomato to tomato cackling evilly while holding a needle.

GMO's are SAFE.

All the available credible research says so.

The organic hucksters don't like this fact, because it cuts into their profits.
And organic is big business, chargin several times in some cases the market prices for non-organic food.
