the obvious purveyor of 'official' propaganda wants you to love chemicals in and for your food;
If you are one of a dwindling number of people who believe everything that the New York Times publishes, you might have gotten the impression from a recent lengthy piece by Jennifer Kahn that genetically modified foods are somehow desirable.
However, like many things the NYT publishes, “Learning to Love GMOs” was incredibly one-sided and completely failed to mention the volumes of evidence proving that GMO crops have not only failed to live up to their promise, but they are killing people and making people sick all around the world.
Kahn penned a 7,000-plus word promotional article in favor of genetically engineered foods in the New York Times Magazine. Among its many outrageous claims is that “overblown fears have turned the public against genetically modified food” although its “potential benefits have never been greater.”
It should come as little surprise that Kahn is listed as the Narrative Program Lead for the University of California Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. The article reads like a laundry list of talking points from the agrochemical industry, and it’s pretty easy to see right through it.
