As an old Jesuit priest once told me, “you cannot have any favorite sin.” Though we are all sinners, what sets a liberal apart is the adherence and defense of his or his neighbors’ favorite sins.

On the other hand, it was the hippies who gave us awareness of organically produced versus factory farms, pesticides, and genetically modified foods.

It is strange that we now have to think of “food freedom” as something we have to defend.

Hippies did what now? Organic food is a scam. The fears over pesticides were not based in hard science nor is there a documented case of "genetically modified" foods harming anyone. For that matter anything humans raise or grow for consumption has been genetically modified. This is all a ploy for power over the food supply and/or a marketing ploy.
As the bumper sticker says "green is the new red".
