Just look how a totally outdated and disproven belief (creationism) still has it's fervent believers.

Most people who don't embrace science do so for one reason.
Science is not easy.
And genetics, evolution and other biological sciences are among the most difficult of all.
Our media doesn't help, most of the time, either.
Every year some ditwit on the news speaks about a "missing link," when that term is hopelessly outdated.

Others have their agenda.
"Scientists are mad/greedy/shills/whatever..."

And some are simply nuts.
"The voices told me science is fake..."

... that the organic and anti-GMO companies are actually fomenting pseudoscience that increases food prices, and convinces people they need to spend more on organic and non-GMO food for no good reason.

Anti-GMOers working to make food insecurity wores is something I would hope more DUers would find to be intolerable.

But I guess I just can't give up hope.

The biggest names in anti-vaxx woo are in for the money.
Especially Andrew Wakefield.

I have noticed that about organic food in the grocery stores also.
It's always far higher in price than other food.

One of our long-time anti-vaxers is working hard on the anti-GMO front. Alas, it is much harder for her to convolute the science on GMOs than she could on vaccines, and it's kind of sad to see.
