Maui protestors fear GMOs and chemicals except when it’s not convenient

Last week Sunday was yet another march against biotechnology on Maui. There were quite a bit of pictures and videos posted throughout the internet showing several hundred people.

They were there to protest perceived evil corporations, alleged poisoning of the aina, and for saving humanity against chemicals. These marchers were joined by this common cause that they felt compelled to have anger and hate towards. They have been told over and over again that they are being poisoned and float in a state of persecution and paranoia.

Some ate GMO snacks on the plane rides over that were offered on the flight. Were they afraid of what it would do? No, they ate it without question. Did these same people have to worry leaving their farms to attend such a march? No, they don’t farm and it’s pretty obvious with the time they have on their hands. They directly benefit from the efficiency and productivity created by the ingenuity of the very farmers that they are protesting and don’t even know it.
