A central idea of "Why People Oppose GMOs Even Though Science Says They Are Safe" is that people's thought processes and emotions create negative perceptions of GMOs that are not based on fact. Do you agree or disagree with the author's position?

I agree with the author position. As a scientist and a person who regularly read scientific publications, I can say that there is plenty of evidence to support the statement that the Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) that are use in the food industry nowadays are safe and its use gives clear advantages over the use of traditional farming methodologies. It is wrongfully believe that GMOs are unsafe, as before any GMOs goes to the market, the companies that produces them must comply with very strict regulations.
