You falsely portray all opposition to industrial food production / GMO as unscientific / irrational / illogical?

It certainly seems to be a favoured industry angle (esp. in regards to Genetically Modified Organisms): portray opposition as ignorant, anti-progress, unscientifc, luddite etc

Some cursory examination into any of these issues uncovers reasoned, rational, scientific concern behind much opposition.

The 'pink slime' issue originated with a US Department of Agriculture microbiologist who was disgusted that the USDA approved it for human consumption. Hardly 'hysteria grounded in not a whit of logic'.
