As a person who cannot fathom there being no bananas, as I am in fact eating one right now completely coincidentally, I am in somewhat of a conundrum as to whether I would support GM bananas over no bananas. I think it would depend on other factors, such as whether the 'ownership' of the GM banana were open. I try to purchase free trade/organic produce and if the GM banana were a closed item this would probably lead me to start enjoying guavas, or something else.

Why are you against GM? I always find it fascinating that most people are for using technology for everything but food.

This fellow's argument doesn't seem to be against GM but rather against the predatory practices perpetrated by the purveyors of GM seeds.

Yes, you are correct. (Oh, and it's 'fella', if that's the female gender of that noun?)
