Awhile back I wrote a piece about the China study debate. Obviously, it brought up dietary choice and current food trends but it also transformed, even as I wrote it, into a piece about agendas and agenda pushing. I have been an avid activist against Monsanto for over 30 years and I have seen agenda pushing on both sides of the debate, in fact it’s one of the few debates that really only has two sides, there isn’t a lot of wiggle room there, at least on the surface. When an issue appears to have only two sides the result is often that there is a strong desire on both of those sides to assign blame. General human nature dictates that most folks would rather point the finger at one giant monster than at the multitude of points of view that make up the issue. I mention this because the comments I got from my piece about the China Study Debate created just such a monster, The Americans.
