Those sources are not crazy just because you say they are. You seem to be
against anyone who has any kind of concern over the effects of things like
genetically modified foods, cotton, vaccines and whatnot. You could be on
someone's payroll, expected to come onto rec.food.cooking, where
discussions about genetically modified foods are likely to arise, where
you can try to characterize as idiots those who actually have valid
concerns. Your calling everyone crazy who has a concern of the type I
describe isn't really fair. You could be exposing your own evilness by
taking the side of Monsanto and vaccine producers.
Your quoting of Quackwatch is suspsect. Those people are crazy, too. They
believe nothing out there is bad for them, just because they luuuuuv
science and believe that if science modifies an apple to make it twice as
large, twice as sweet, and twice as juicy, then it must mean the apple is
better for us, as well, even if it gives you pancreatic herpes unawares.
I used to be on Quackwatch's e-mail discussion list, and that's a pack of
lunatics if I've ever been caught in the middle of one. Every concern
that came along, they laughed at and rolled their eyes at, just because
the concern questioned the glory of science.
Congratulations. You're just as looney as they are.
