July 3, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, Monsanto | 29 comments

https://hazenfoundation.org/cloekd3qk Earlier this year I explored how Monsanto, the world’s most successful agricultural biotech company, became the poster child for the anti-GMO movement. (The best book-length history of how this came to be remains “Lords of the Harvest,” by NPR’s Dan Charles.) What fascinates me–and undoubtedly infuriates anyone who works at Monsanto–is how hard it is… https://www.mdifitness.com/evnkz24o Continue Reading…

https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/8mtfy1o6q In PLOS Biology, a UK geneticist offers some wise suggestions on how to move beyond the simplistic frames that dominate agriculture and the GMO discourse. She writes: First, it is necessary to move on from the well-worn logical fallacy that anything natural is good, and anything unnatural is bad.

Opportunistic Scaremongering

May 28, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in autism, biotechnology, GMOs | 9 comments

In 2008, the animals rights group PETA was lambasted for a new ad campaign. Although the billboards were quickly taken down, the ridiculous article discussing the supposed link between autism and milk remains on the group’s website. Steven Novella and a columnist for the Telegraph (among others?) seem to have just discovered the article and mistaken it for a new campaign. Still, it’s… https://www.scarpellino.com/s3loc85dpm1 Continue Reading…

Regular readers of Collide-a-Scape know that I’m interested in popular narratives that shape public discourse. I’m specifically interested in how science and environment-related topics are covered in the media, and how this coverage tends to create dominant narratives. Along these lines, I’ve explored the genesis and amplification of varied media narratives, from Jared Diamond’s collapse… Zolpidem Purchase Continue Reading…

Is the GMO Debate Advancing to a Higher Level?

May 21, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, GMOs | 117 comments

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/h8xtisfxq4 I’m just catching up with several deeply reported articles on GMOs that are worth your attention. Molly Ball, a staff writer at The Atlantic, recently published a long piece that explores the swirling politics and emotions driving the GMO labeling campaign in the United States. She concludes:

https://www.varesewedding.com/kyij4hot The anti-GMO troops in the United States received some unwelcome news this week from Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). At a congressional hearing on Thursday, Hamburg reiterated the FDA’s support for voluntary GMO labeling initiatives, but nothing beyond that: The way FDA has for many years interpreted the law… https://www.varesewedding.com/95wr7zwfl Continue Reading…

The Right to Be Manipulated

March 5, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, food movement, GMOs | 62 comments

The list of supermarkets, companies and restaurants hopping aboard the anti-GMO train keeps growing. Last year Whole Foods and Chipotle made headlines for their pledges to go GMO-free. [CORRECTION: Only Chipotle has made that pledge; Whole Foods has committed to labeling any of its products that contain GMOs] Numerous food companies have already slapped such a label on… Continue Reading…
