GMO's: The Boogeyman (Monsanto) Returns

Just last month wrote about how the GMO debate had shifted somewhat. There was speculation in academic/scientific circles that facts were getting through to the public past all the noise from the anti-GMO crowd. This website was given credit for some of that:
Well, not so fast. Kristen Clark at The Palm Beach Post has this news about a "March Against Monsanto": 
     Opponents of genetically modified foods plan to march in protest on Saturday along Forest Hill Boulevard.
     The first-ever “March Against Monsanto” in Wellington is one of nearly 350 such rallies happening this month worldwide. Another march is planned May 23 in West Palm Beach.
     Monsanto is an agricultural company often affiliated with GMOs, or genetically modified organisms. It sells herbicide-resistant seeds to farmers, products known as “Roundup Ready.”
     The march in Wellington begins at 9 a.m. at the Old Wellington Mall, at Forest Hill Boulevard and Wellington Trace.
