To be honest I am alot more concerned about petrochemicals pesticides antibiotics etc. Those chemicals are dangerous and carbon footprint can be massive. GMO has a bad rep because of ignorance, fake news and perhaps more rationally -- they copyright seeds, which isn't really an issue unless you are stealing their superior seeds. They are tested a lot more than anything organic. They promise to develop crops that require a lot less water, chemical, and oil input which higher yields and more nutrition.
In 20 to 50 years the anti-GMO crowd will be looked at like the anti-vaxxer crowd. A lotbof hippies and naturalists may disagree but I know a lot of farmers, scientists amd people who study this stuff. It's ironic because when it comes to medicine we can't get enough GMOs but for some reason when it comes to seeds we don't want them.
Yes there are many things that I am concerned about as well as GMO foods etc., - but we can all do something - big business will defend GMO's because they make big money -it is a personal choice as to what we accept.
It is definitely a personal choice. I 100% support labeling of products. We have no problems with our medical researchers and doctors making huge money and using science. However for food it seems we want agricultural scientists and farmers to not get money for research.

Yes we all need to be informed - especially when it comes to our food.
