@gypsy69 - you are malihini and picked the wrong crop as an example with rainbow papaya. Even the county ban allows GMO rainbow papaya. Do you even have the slightest clue what the exact modification is? It is only a modification to the skin, not the fruit.
What insults me with the anti-GMO fad frenzy is the supreme ignorance displayed by such large groups regarding biotech today. It is viewed and treated, in the United States, like a witch hunt with social media driven mob rule vendetta mentality. To run with this devolutionary mob is to deny the intricate complexities being discovered and changed under almost lego-like control. Yes, the implications are staggering, and frightening to a large segment of the population. Somebody said something along the lines of "they only fear what they don't understand". Nothing is going to change until this current social-media driven fad fades out.
