But ... doing all these "science is evil" changes to law would make a few tens of thousand very rich people feel slightly better about themselves, what they eat and what "they achieved", and yes, it will starve hundreds of thousands, and make food more expensive for no benefit for hundreds of millions (and thus make those millions poorer), but they will never see those people. > IMO, supporting GMOs is one of the most environmentally concious things you can do. True. Other observations one might make is that the "greenness" of small parks in San Francisco really have no significant influence over how green the world is, and campaigning for them has much less to do with environmentalism than with "more tax-funded house-value-increasing toys for me NOW ! FOR THE GOOD OF THE EARTH !".
