Young People Have Become Jaded To Emotional Appeals On Screens - And That Is Good
Running a pro-science nonprofit is a poor business model. Especially compared to lawyer groups like Environmental Working Group or rich deniers like Greenpeace.
'Your food is safe' is a terrible call to action but 'evil chemical corporations are killing you' gets the money rolling in - even though the former is true and the latter is a paranoid conspiracy theory with no basis in fact.

Even if you only sprayed it one time.

Kennedy, Jr. was a lawyer for Natural Resources Defense Council and investor in solar gimmicks, he was adored by Democrats who shared his beliefs that science was a vast right-wing conspiracy.
