Ignorance of Science Paradox

摘要

Those who know the least about genetically modified foods are absolutely convinced they know the most.WITH THE INCREASING separation between the average American and agriculture — the farm-to-fork disconnect — we've become used to manyconsumers having some strange ideas about farming. I've even become somewhat used to so-called consumer advocates misrepresenting the relative value of consuming fresh fruits and vegetables in relation to the minute amounts of pesticide residues they may have, i.e. the "Dirty Dozen." But getting used to ignorance about our food supply is one thing. When those most ignorant are also most strident, it's just a shame.
