This is a valid complaint about Monsanto and it is one that I have myself, but it is also not the complaint that was being referenced. GMOs (not necessarily Monsanto) have great potential, yet just the words "non-GMO" printed on a package are enough to convince people of one brand over another. The fact that GMOs are a political issue in the US is more proof that there is resistance to progress, at least in this particular respect.
- rabbyte 12y agoResistance or reluctance? In keeping with the article, it would be less about the GMO vs non-GMO debate and more about uncertainty in how we agree on whether something ought to be or if it will cause more problems than it solves. The fear of progress in this case may be rooted in sound reasoning as a reaction to past advances that have wreaked havoc in other areas. The impulse is to treat it as an ideological difference when it actually should be looked at as a breaking down of trust and an inability to discern foolishness from genius.
