Good job at explaining at how GMOs come to be!
People need to understand how GMOs are engineered and to what extent the used techniques differ from traditional breeding and from genetic events happening naturally and randomly.

People are so easily triggered by terms like genetically engineered, GMOs, gene technology as if it equals pure evil. They pretend to understand what is going on, but they mostly have a very primitive understanding of the underlying biology. They are looking at what goes wrong when profit-greedy companies mess up, and then it's very easy, of course, to associate GMOs with environmental hazards.
