Easy, because the current corporate capitalist business model and science are really, really different. This should not be difficult to distinguish! Personally, I dislike immensely the significant corporate influence on our political processes. However, in the area of genetic engineering, like climate change and evolution, there is more than enough independent scientific investigation to establish that there is no basis for the hysteria surrounding GMOs. Many links have been offered in many threads here and elsewhere to confirm that. Conflating science with corporate capitalism is not going to bring clarity to this issue.
I was pro GMO as currently introduced. The hysteria I see is the hysteria produced by the claimed "climate change" and the hysteria that natural breed plants cannot sustain the global population. That is the generation of fear to bolster support for corporate interests. Some people have a tendency to hate humanity and blame it for cataclysmic destructions. Corporate interest know this and capitalize on these fears whenever profitable... they are the real issue, the puppet masters behind the hysterics and they have deep enough pockets to generate what ever propaganda of BS they want you to believe in order to bolster their profits. This has been done throughout history and time and time again the lies and deception eventually become unearthed. If you want to know where the problems are... follow the money trail, who has the most to profit, how have they leveraged themselves, who are they affiliated with, who have they supported and what is the goal. Most people do not have the knowledge to understand how business works on the subterranean level/behind the scenes. Whence an individual takes the trip down that proverbial rabbit hole they then begin to understand the whole picture from a global perspective. I can tell you right now that never before in the history of humanity has business had more influence and power over the people as they have today. The GMO issue is a complex series of interests, from science (those engaged in the business of for profit), medicine, pharmaceuticals, etc... its a big circle and all these corporations are part of one another to some degree or out right subsidiaries. This is where the information is generated from, this is where the money trail is and if anyone thinks for one moment that fudging/skewing scientific conclusions is beyond them is only fooling themselves. Who's flipping the bill for these studies and awarding private grants etc? Don't bull**** yourself otherwise that there is no favoritisms and skewed conclusions.
Don't even try to convince me for a damn moment that these sciences have not been tainted and directed by corporate interests. I have heard these complaints from several research doctors and professors... some within my family. Horse**** abounds in the sciences and especially around the grant process.
