...Why I ask for the GMO aisle at Kokua

...And why I am no more a fan of Greenpeace than of Mr Funes. It really doesn't matter what side of the fence you're on. If you're in a position of power and influence, you've got a responsibility to get your shit right. If, for example, you're going to define the dogma for a religion that billions of people are going to follow, have a little humility. 

OR, for example, if you are Sue Kedgley, MP for the New Zealand Green Party and itching to say anything that makes you look like a radical environmentalist, maybe you should do even a little research about a chemical before you decide it should be banned:

In an email response to a spoof highlighting all the dangers and deaths from water, Green MP Sue Kedgley's office said she was 'absolutely supportive' of a ban on dihydrogen monoxide in New Zealand.

The email on dihydrogen monoxide points out it is a colourless, odourless, tasteless chemical used in all sorts of dangerous industries and that in gaseous form it causes thousands of burns; in liquid form millions of deaths from overdose (drowning), and in its solid state causes tissue damage.

P&T already did that on an episode of Bullshit. Still, silly humans nonetheless.

They also showed tap water was safer than bottled and that when most people are given a blind taste test, they chose the tap water.
