Not one person I know who is against GMO foods is uneducated about it - quite the opposite... they aren't interested until they start researching the topic. I couldn't care less until my wife started researching it (due to severe reactions by family members). Before then, the only thing I had against GMO was fishy-tasting tomatoes.

Another problem I have with mass deployment of GMO crops is the reduction of active species. Imagine what a simple blight would do to our food supply. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)
