a fatal contamination of organic food in europe has poisoned thousands and killed thirty five people.
think about what would have happened if it had have been genetically modified food that did this.
the green inner city health freaks would have used the abc to screech for an immediate ban on all food subject to such contamination and risk.
the solemn concern of bob brown would have flooded the airwaves.
get up would have been at the abc offices, doing flat out interviews,mobilising the internet,fear and outrage at their wingtips.
prime minister julia, responding to polls showing vital inner city votes demanded action, would have banned all genetically modified food immediately.
anyone who doubts this, just look at the overnight destruction of the northern australian cattle industry.
seeing as how it was organic food that poisoned and killed, and organic people are the 'right sort' , even when they refuse to take scientific modern steps to remove the e.coli risk to consumers.
when the u.s. department of agriculture proposed treating organic food to remove the e.coli risk, 300,000 petitions,soaked with unthinking emotion,opposed the move [that was before get up and fellow travellers got organised for real manipulation of the internet.]
stop a yuppie on the inner city street,and ask if organic,or g.m. food is likely to kill and poison. even in the face of the proof, they will cling to the childlike faith in organic emotion over science.
