Buy Xanax Online Without Prescription A liberal publication (which I like and read) has a message for vaccine-hesitant parents. Vaccinate your kids, you ignorant whack jobs http://t.co/ngmTIZWAxp pic.twitter.com/TiBXz99Vxi — Mother Jones (@MotherJones) August 6, 2014 Alas, this is an incredibly ignorant and counterproductive thing to say. Whoever is running MoJo’s social media operation needs to get familiar with the latest… Buy Amoxicillin Online Without Prescription Continue Reading…

Why it Matters What Liberal Validators Say on GMOs

August 4, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, AquaBounty, biotechnology, GMOs, science | 90 comments

https://forgive123.com/elementor-8916/ When Neil deGrasse Tyson speaks, people listen. I was on vacation when America’s most prominent scientist made news for railing against GMO fearmongers. “Practically every food you buy in a store for consumption by humans is genetically modified food,” he told a French interviewer. It was an impromptu, oversimplified response on a complex, hot-button subject, but… Continue Reading…

Mike Adams Capitalizes on the Myth Spread by Vandana Shiva

July 25, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Uncategorized | 30 comments

My colleagues in the media have taken notice of the execrable rant by Mike Adams, in which he likens some science writers and scientists to Nazis. To recap: The self-proclaimed “Health Ranger” said that certain publishers, journalists and scientists “have signed on to the Nazi genocide machine of our day,” which he identifies as the agricultural biotech… Order Zopiclone Online Continue Reading…

Mike Adams Escalates his Ugly Anti-GMO Campaign

July 24, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, GMOs | 240 comments

I recently discussed what is perhaps the most twisted, disgusting anti-GMO tract ever written. It’s by Mike Adams, who as Jon Entine said earlier this year, is “a titan in the booming alternative lifestyle business, running dozens of websites promoting ‘natural’ products, many of them bogus or dangerous, which he relentlessly hawks online.” The main communication… https://www.randwickpsychologycentre.com/resources/ Continue Reading…

Mike Adams, Monsanto, Nazis, and a Very Disturbing Article

July 22, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in GMOs, Monsanto | 359 comments

I really thought Mike Adams couldn’t write anything more possibly deranged than he already has at his Natural News website. (Readers of this blog have seen a freaky side of Adams.) Jon Entine has the scoop on his editorial output and alt-med empire. Entine’s piece, which Forbes cravenly took down (after Adams threatened to sue), asked if… Continue Reading…

Can Monsanto Win Over its Critics?

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

https://theroyalstagproperties.com/our-place/ 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…Continue Reading…

Opportunistic Scaremongering

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

https://dinoeliadis.com/schedule-time/ 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…Continue Reading…

The Entrenched GMO Narrative

May 22, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, GMOs, science journalism | 23 comments

https://www.randwickpsychologycentre.com/therapists/ 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…Continue Reading…

Is the GMO Debate Advancing to a Higher Level?

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

Purchase Xanax Without Prescription 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:
