So many insights. Looks like a nice week. Was the Food Evolution movie interesting?
Because I am interested in the GMO food controversy, the film was interesting. It presents a pro-science view of the issue, and actually gave me much food for thought. It is the opposite of “Genetic Roulette,” an anti-GMO food film. However, as with all movies, the attempt to reduce a highly complex issue to simple ideas that most people can understand, means that much was left out. For example the legal and ethical controversies (e.g., Percy Schmeiser vs. Monsanto, the reasons why Monsanto was ejected from India, etc.) were omitted to paint a rosy pro-GMO picture. Most complex issues cannot be successfully reduced to a 30 second commercial or sound byte. In our highly polarized world, being able to comprehend and weigh contradictory ideas/ideologies in a thoughtful manner is valuable.
