re: Is there anything good about GMOs?

There has been no scientific definitive proof that GMOs are deleterious to our health. The biggest stigma against GMOs are two issues: 1) Europe used America's use of GMOs as a means to prevent us from underselling their farmers via the Precautionary System; and 2) most GMOs do not bear seeds that are capable of reproducing - giving GMO producers huge annual profits because farmers have to purchase them each year. The liberal agenda gets in an uproar because they believe these scientific advances, which takes millions or billions to develop, should be given out free to indigent nations. All of this creates negative press for GMOs...

Spot on.

One other instigator in the anti-GMO crowd, and an important one that brings lots of money to support the liberal nuts on this issue, is the organic food companies.

These companies - many of the Whole Foods supply network - are looking to increase their market shares. They are fully aware that GMO food is not harmful to humans but they stoke the fire of public fear and misinformation solely to demonize non-organic food products. They are spending BIG dollars to support the activists who are trying to scare people away from GMO food. And they are doing this for the sole purpose of trying to drive up sales of their products.

Their behavior is pathetic really, when you consider most of the leaders of the organic food companies claim to possess business ethics that are far superior to Monsanto, Kelloggs, PepsiCo, etc.
