In that moment before being asleep where your mind is racing and thoughts just flow from one thing to another: I had one of those last night where I realized why the Anti-GMO movement pisses me off. Now, the legal side of me realizes that we have free speech and you should be able to lobby society and speak your mind. I get that. But it's a bunch of rich, white, panicky people with money who spend that money to speak their mind and sway public opinion with GMO fears. That's their right.
But the part that bugs me is that there is no scientific basis for their claims. They're a bunch of nutjobs who can't realize there is this thing called science. It kind of proved the world was round and led to the creation of the Internet, which is revolutionizing societies, and it has something to say: "you're wrong." And instead of funding science to assuage their fears and benefit society with more research, they spend that money to fear monger among idiots who don't want to do basic research. And I hate that, because it's fucking up a lot of things. It's impoverishing global farmers who rely on GMO plants. It's making Americans sick because you dolts care more about GMO harms than real harms like E. "to the motherfucking" Coli. It's a million dollar lobby, pushing fears onto affluent idiots who think they're too smart to fall for stupid bullshit, which is happening. It's like, why can't they just dump all this money into actual scientific and impartial scientists to make sure GMO foods are safe for them and just fuck off?
