"Opinion: I Was Lured Into Monsanto’s GMO Crusade. Here’s What I Learned.
As a once-vocal supporter of the company’s GMO push, I learned that debates about science are never just about science."
"Crowe (Monsanto) preached a scientific gospel of GMOs that went something like this: If you’re pro-science, you must be pro-GMO. If you’re anti-Monsanto, then you’re anti-GMO. Therefore, if you’re anti-Monsanto, you’re anti-science. His objective, it seemed, was to render opposition to GMOs as ridiculous as belief in Bigfoot, and to amass a movement that could be counted on to shout that message from the rooftops."
