mgshamster: gmpilot: Oh my god the comments on the article are so stupid.  I try to keep optimistic, but are western education systems really this awful?  90% of the fears towards any form of GM have zero basis in any science, any incident, or any situation that has ever arisen.  Worst part is, no matter how many well documented and peer-reviewed papers get published every year, nobody complaining is ever going to read a single one.  Sometimes I wonder why my fellow scientists often seem so absorbed in their own work and tire of trying to explain it to strangers; then I see abhorrent disingenuous detritus like this.  If you are legitimately concerned by GM products, there are legitimate ways to find out many of the facts.  Reading crappy articles like this is not one of them.

The naturalistic fallacy has really dug its heels deep into American culture, unfortunately.
