I don't see what your point is with bringing up Kevin Folta... He's also been criticized by the New York Times[0] and articles published in Nature[1]. I feel like criticizing his industry connections is pretty uncontroversial

My point is that CMD is quick to attack Kevin Folta (speaks favorably of conventional ag), but fail have same level of investigation of USRTK or Charles Benbrook[0] (university professor who sat the board of various organic organizations and takes money to write pro-organic studies). Why aren't then giving Benbrook the same coverage as Folta? My point is they pick who to watch based on their agenda.
