There’s a Reason I Don’t Trust Celebrities on Much
Yeah, sadly, celebrities are often a really BAD source of information on anything related to science. Not sure if they’re as bad as or worse than politicians, but pretty close either way. And while Gwyneth Paltrow is a beautiful woman and (some people think) a good actress, when it comes to pseudoscience and “woo”, she’s pretty far gone down the path to the Dark Side.
Again: GMOs are safe. They’ve been MASSIVELY tested – it takes an average of ten years of testing before they’re allowed to be grown commercially. Organics are NOT tested, despite the fact that they’re often created through radiation.
And if you cite a celebrity as support for your belief…..you’ve automatically lost the argument unless the celebrity actually has scientific training and background.
