“Golden Rice is a covert attempt to win wider approval for genetically modified food and will not solve problems of malnutrition. Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) – like other problems on malnutrition and hunger – is not caused by the lack of Vitamin A in food, but by people’s inability to achieve a balanced diet.” https://www.grain.org/article/entries/5177-golden-rice-is-unnecessary-and-dangerous
“Rainbow papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a genetically engineered (GE) cultivar with resistance to papaya ringspot virus (PRSV). This cultivar currently accounts for about 70% of Hawaii’s papaya acreage. … No differences were observed between GE and non-GE papaya for 36 nutrients at any of the tested fruit ripeness stages.”

Yeah! GMO insulin is a big one, virtually all insulin is produced by an E. coli strain genetically modified to produce exact-replica human insulin. Prior to that all insulin taken by diabetics came from slaughterhouse pigs or cows.
Imagine being opposed to that because pharma companies price-gouge insulin in the US or something like that lol
