> But I'm struggling to understand what we know now that scares us so much. Fear about health (read: self-preservation) is a basic instinct. That aside, it's not fear of the known, it's fear of the unknown. Again, pretty natural. Unknown and fear go hand in hand. The sad fact is, we willingly introduced "variables" into the environment without having a clue about the impact any of them might have. Worse, is what happens when they mix in the wild. Given the track record of Big Chem, there's no reasonable reason to remain calm. Big Chem is a known, and fear is not inappropriate when profits come before all else.
