I find it amazing that people don't realize that the organic food industry also has deep pockets. How is it that a skeptic could be fail to be suspicious of Ama

  I think it comes down to who you're suspicious of first. It's easy to be skeptical of GMOs when you equate them to Monsanto, because Fuck Monsanto. It's a lot less easy to make the connection to, say, Amazon (or whoever else). And even if you do, still, fuck Monsanto. Point is that when you're going off gut feeling (which you most likely are on some level unless you yourself are very knowledgeable on the topic), it's often going to come down to which pockets you hate the most. And, well, fuck Monsanto. But just to be clear and as I was saying in my other post: you're right; both sides of the issue have deep pockets. The problem is it doesn't look that way at first glance.

  >I find it amazing that people don't realize that the organic food industry also has deep pockets. I'm not in favor of organic food either. Almost everything with opponents and proponents is a false dichotomy marketed to suckers.
