I feel for those who fear GMOs. Food is incredibly intimate. They're terrified that the stuff they literally subsist upon is being fucked around with in ways they don't understand by people they don't know for reasons they don't grasp. They feel their fears aren't being taken seriously and engaged with as reasonable concerns. They feel dismissed and belittled by people who look down on them. There. Some sympathy. Feeling better? Cool. Because basically none of the concerns and fears that most consumers have are reasonable. Most of them are nothing more unjustified, baseless terror of the fishberries someone said are here to poison them. How should I - or anyone - react to that? You cannot reason with a person possessed of such terror. I've tried. You cannot educate them. I've tried that too. You can't listen to them, offer sympathy and compassion and understanding, and then try to reason with them. I've tried that too, and it blows up in spectacular fashion.
