The anti-GMO movement reminds me of the 80's...

[Archae]

The anti-GMO people remind me of the 1980's "satanic panic" groups, that resulted in people going to jail for "crimes" that never happened.

The "thinking" was dominated by hysteria, wild accusations, bullying by "therapists," ambitious politicians, and flat-out profit margins.

The "satanic panic" hasn't died out completely, either.

This anti-GMO movement is being driven by three main groups.
(Although some belong to combinations of the three groups)

1. Those who are certifiably paranoid schizophrenic.
"The voices in my head tell me not to eat GMO's!"

2. Those with an agenda, to hell with anything that gets in the way of that agenda.
"Only natural advocates are eating the right food!"

3. Money.
Organic producers charge up the wazoo for their products.
