Andrew Weil, his woo, and anti-GMO hysteria...

167. Denying science goes to credibility

We can't stand behind climate scientists and throw all sense of objectivity out the window due to faulty logic.

Climate change dictates that we need biotechnology. We will need plants that produce more on less land, need less water, less tilling, and less land cleared.

Organic can't feed 9 billion people. Period.

Clearing more forests isn't environmentally friendly. It is the opposite. Tilling isn't environmentally friendly. It is the opposite. Running machinery to till, isn't environmentally friendly. It is the opposite.

There are real risks, like e.coli.

Disease microbes, nutrient shortages and lack of access are greatest threats, not biotechnology. Contamination of fish and meat with parasites, or grains with mold toxins, are also significant food health hazards
