Cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, autism, asthma, birth defects, infertility, indigestion, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis. One of the best tactics for manufacturing fear about GMOs or other technologies,

Whether you are trying to sell a book on GMOs, get more paid invites for your anti-herbicide rants, sell a t-shirt on your chemtrails [conspiracy theory] site, or convince local moms to stop protecting their children with immunization, there has to be a looming threat of a horrendous physical illness.

Folta has interesting things to say about this blame-a-disease tactic and how it links the anti-GMO campaign to other anti-technology and pseudoscience campaigns. Read the whole thing
