organic food elitest
Yesterday, it took me 3 hours or something to write a paper on my “philosophy” of genetically altered food. I’m not quite sure how I found a way to write philosophically about a subject I barely knew anything about, but anyway, that isn’t what this post is about. What it’s really about is my one professor who is vehemently against all forms of agricultural biotechnology. She doesn’t support eating foods that aren’t organic because she thinks it goes fundamentally against nature, which is fine. More power to her for supporting local farmers and their organic farming practices, right? My big issue is that SHE HAS A BLACKBERRY. How can you refuse to eat genetically altered food because it vexes nature, and then use a mobile phone that pretty much espouses technology in every sense? It’s like vegans who don’t eat meat because they want to “end cruelty towards living creatures” and still wear leather jackets.
