There are some other GMOs out there now and I don't think the awareness about these is very high. I'm not saying they are bad necessarily. There is a gmo apple even!

The problem with adding pesticides via genes should be obvious (not all gmo adds pesticides), here is an example:

"In 1998, a safety study (Ewen and Pusztai 1999) of GM potatoes with incorporated snowdrop bulb lectin (GNA) gene (Lectin acts as an insecticide), showed significant changes in the intestines of rats fed GM potatoes. The tested potatoes were not a commercial variety and not intended for human consumption, but the public were alarmed."
