The Seeds of Spin: Decoding Pro-GMO Lies and Falsehoods
by Colin Todhunter
If you are in some way critical of genetically modified food and agriculture or have some concerns that remain unaddressed, here is a brief interpretive (satirical) guide for navigating the seedy world of pro-GMO spin.
1) We are pro-science and objective.
Meaning: We are industry supported and dismiss out of hand this type of anti-GM nonsense that suggests our science is somehow tainted.
2) Our critics are anti-science Luddites.
Meaning: Unlike us, they rely on ‘pseudo science’, labelled as such because it is not funded by the industry and its conclusions challenge the commercial interests of it.
3) Our critics are human haters because they deny GM food to the hungry.
Meaning: We learned to say this in our seminars about ‘dealing with anti-GMO campaigners’.
