The main problem here, and it is confirmed by most comments you got, is that all reactions are driven by emotions, not logics or science.

I did expect that to happen as I deliberately tagged my post with #conspiracy and #gmo.
Though, I'm rather sad that they apparently didn't even spend time to read the article and only dropped one comment without taking a look at the sources or answering to my questions afterwards.

I was hoping for a more furious debate rather than just a populist phrase with nothing more following or behind it.

And for the record, I personally eat local. Not organic, GMO, or whatever, but local from my local market. Less gas emissions to bring the food to my plate and this promotes the local economy ;)

That's the best way to go, indeed! :)
