The Non-GMO Project is a lie. The whole anti-GMO movement is a luddite scheme co-opted as a marketing ploy for the so-called "natural" foods industry.

I'm curious to see if I get more pushback on this from the more liberal Mastodon community than I do from the more conservative birdsite.
But then maybe people here are just plain smarter & better informed.
@pzmyers I happen to be reading Silent Spring at the moment, which admittedly isn't about GMOs, but is the same genus of environmental concerns.
It's unfortunate because I do think GMOs should be studied, regulated, etc. But it's gone over into anti-science craziness.
When I lived in Vermont and heard this talk about GMOs being universally bad, I had to discover that I didn't agree with the left on 100% of things after all (merely 99.9999% of things).
