The differences there is "well-funded". The reality of it is, the more you can pay, the bigger your voice. The anti-GMO campaign is grassroots at best. There's no huge company backing them. When large GMO companies like Monsanto do it - and they ARE doing it - they do it "well-funded". They are already starting to turn public perception with their campaign - which include forums like these, I might add!
Also note that the law currently stands WITH the GMO companies. They are well protected and entrenched there. They're already at a position of advantage!
Heh...so I guess they're just biding their time? Is that it? Not a very wise strategy, it seems, but okay. I'm very skeptical that the anti-GMO campaign is not well-funded. Organics is big business now, and what better way to increase sales than by convincing consumers that your rivals' food is poison? I wouldn't go so far as to say Monsanto is the underdog here, but it is a far from advantageous position for them. Public opinion is hugely against them right now, and that matters a lot.
