Not exactly the anti-GMO crowd pretty much muddled the distinction between Transgenics and GMOs.

On more “scientific” forums including popular science like Star Talk Nye always explained that it was Transgenics that he had concerns about and using GMOs when talking to a crowd which already decided that GMOs only applies to cucumbers which were spliced with chicken DNA was pretty much the only way to go.
