It's also clearly picking horses based on political preferences. The science behind GMO foods is solid, there is consensus, and the same "doubt tactics" are being used against it, yet it's not mentioned here. Probably because the opposition to GMO foods is coming from the left not the right in this case.

If we're going to back Science in all things, we need to back Science in all things, regardless of where that leads.

If we're not going to back it in all things, and follow blindly where it leads, then it's politics and all decisions are up for debate, regardless of the science.

I have huge faith in our ability to steer a good course between these rocks. We'll never get it perfectly right, of course, but going by our history we also won't mess it up completely.
