Avoiding GM Foods? Monsanto Says You're Overly Fussy
blackbeak writes "The BBC today characterized those who avoid GM foods as overly fussy, the very same day that the Wall Street Journal announced that picky eating may be recognized in the 2013 DSM as a psychiatric disorder. The DSM item refers to something completely different, though I'm sure many will confuse the two. Of course, this was not done without subterfuge; the BBC's author, Professor Jonathan Jones, in no way indicates his close ties to Monsanto. Point by point Jones regurgitates the same pro-GM arguments debunked numerous times all over the net for years, while serving up some stale half facts too."
What? I'm sorry but you're argument makes no sense...
Without GM foods the world would be starving right now.
We should probably ban computers too, yah know to prevent a robot revolution from occurring.
While we're at it, let's stop working on nano tech, it could potentially result in a grey goo scenario.
Hell, why are we letting people work on medical technology? It's only going to result in overpopulation and exacerbate the situation between the Haves and the Have-Nots.
Everything they touch dies a horrible death.
Because obviously the next step is to stop them from having a SUV and a car and a huge suburban house. In fact it's well known the environmentalist movement wants to firebomb (in ecologically-friendly ways) all suburbs out of existence. (I do dislike suburbs, but repealing zoning laws would do wonders on that eyesore ;) )
