Easy, because the current corporate capitalist business model and science are really, really different. This should not be difficult to distinguish! Personally, I dislike immensely the significant corporate influence on our political processes. However, in the area of genetic engineering, like climate change and evolution, there is more than enough independent scientific investigation to establish that there is no basis for the hysteria surrounding GMOs. Many links have been offered in many threads here and elsewhere to confirm that. Conflating science with corporate capitalism is not going to bring clarity to this issue.
