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.

EWG Activists Cheer California Efforts To Ban More Science
California government has a new proposal that could ban thousands of chemicals, even if they are natural.
California is, of course, famously anti-science. The reason lawyers who wanted to sue over weedkillers filed in San Francisco is because it is the most anti-science city in America's most anti-science state. And it worked. Juries readily believe that plants are just tiny green people so a weedkiller that only acts on a pathway not found in humans at all can still somehow cause human cancer. Even if you only sprayed it one time.
