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.scarpellino.com/9twre66 Continue Reading…

The Right to Be Manipulated

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

https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/cxnemml 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… https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/15mahx7xt4w Continue Reading…

The Trusted Communicators Who Shape the GMO Discourse

September 25, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, climate change, science communication, select | 24 comments

Ambien Cr Where To Buy At The Conversation: There is a classic position in the science communication literature which goes, roughly, if you meet resistance to science, throw facts at those who resist. If that doesn’t work, throw more facts at them, and throw them harder. This approach, though roundly debunked, is unfortunately still a common default. The author did not… Zolpidem Online Usa Continue Reading…

When Journalists Say Really Stupid Stuff About GMOs

June 3, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, genetically modified foods, GMOs, science | 73 comments

I’ve been arguing that the worst misinformation and myths about genetically modified foods has spread from the anti-GMO fringes to the mainstream. A jaw-dropping example of this is provided by Michael Moss, an investigative reporter for the New York Times, who was recently interviewed by Marcus Mabry, a NYT colleague about the Monsanto protests that took… https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/btx9fcehtiq Continue Reading…

May 30, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, genetically modified foods, GMOs, select | 187 comments

Guest post by Cami Ryan, a Canadian agricultural researcher: Last week, an executive with a biotech trade group asserted in an interview that it wasn’t too late to win the hearts and minds of consumers suspicious of genetically modified foods. Biotech advocates just need to do a better job of explaining the technology and its… https://www.varesewedding.com/0rr6hcohnf Continue Reading…

Don't Let Mark Bittman Cook Your Brain with Bad Science

May 17, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, science, science communication, select | 23 comments

https://www.fogliandpartners.com/4wy4rxdh5wb Mark Bittman, the popular food writer for the New York Times, has written a column that is almost beyond parody for its unintentional irony. The only way to fully appreciate his lack of self-awareness is to stop and marvel at numerous passages. Let’s start at the top: Things are bad enough in the food world… https://www.plantillaslago.com/d11149j Continue Reading…

Prince Charles is No Friend of Science

May 9, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate science, select | 8 comments

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/8nzhna56 The Guardian reports that Prince Charles is standing up for climate science and criticizing the forces of climate change denial. If you know about the Prince’s GMO fear-mongering and falsehoods about GM crops and his dangerous promotion of alternative medicine (such as homeopathy), then you know he is not the best emissary for science. Indeed, one well-respected scientist… Continue Reading…

Nature's Must-Read Special Issue on GMOs

May 1, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, genetic engineering, genetically modified foods, GMOs, select | 22 comments

By now it has become clear, as British environmental writer Mark Lynas said in a speech this week at Cornell University, that controversy over GMOs represents one of the greatest science communications failures of the past half-century. Millions, possibly billions, of people have come to believe what is essentially a conspiracy theory, generating fear and… https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/f8tcfrs4zv Continue Reading…

Why GMO Supporters Should Embrace Labels

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/kbp5yhy3 Guest post by Ramez Naam. Keith Kloor has graciously given me the opportunity to guest post here again. So let me cut to the chase: I support GMOs. And we should label them. We should label them because that is the very best thing we can do for public acceptance of agricultural biotech. And… https://municion.org/qsfegufz Continue Reading…

The Anti-GMO Movement's Clever Marketing Gimmick

March 17, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in genetically modified foods, GMOs | 58 comments

https://www.mdifitness.com/j962umbu1 Several weeks ago, Whole Foods, the organic supermarket chain many people have a love/hate relationship with, announced that by 2018 any of its products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) would be labeled. A Bloomberg Businessweek article called the move “clever marketing” and said: Transparency is something worth paying for these days. I find it amusing… Continue Reading…
