Article Abstract:

Consumers fear genetically engineered foods, primarily because of the pressure exerted by producers of such seeds to force government regulation. They were successful. The motivation for such regulation was profit. Smaller firms would have a more difficult time complying to such regulation.

Now they are all having a hard time selling the public on the idea that genetically engineered food will not cause health problems.
