Hungary Destroys All Monsanto GMO Corn Fields

[John Dibble]

and you people are worried about anti-vaccine conspiritards.  The anti-GM are costing lives (not that this particular case will cost lives, but similar bans in Africa certainly do).

Considering that children (and sometimes adults) can and do die of the diseases that they could have been vaccinated against, those people are dangerous too.

The funny thing is that unscientific views on GM foods are far far more harmful than the young earth creationism that I keep hearing about.

Which doesn't make young earth creationism any more scientific or any more constitutional to teach in public schools. Anything useful to add?

Perhaps, but certainly GM is more pressing.  Besides, this shows the utter hypocrisy of the far-left when they claim to hold the mantle on scientific progress.  They don't.

1. There is no significant opposition to GM foods in the US, at least not to the point where there's enough to get them banned.
2. The ruling political group in Hungary is an alliance between the Fidesz (classified as center-right to right-wing) and the Christian Democratic People's Party (classified as right-wing). The Minister of Rural Development is a member of the former. They hold two thirds of all seat in parliament. Before you go blaming the far left for this, you might want to make sure the far left is actually responsible for it.
