Why industry is going green on the quiet
It&#x27;s fascinating how the backlash and the anger towards organic run deep in the US and on HN.<p>The first time I noticed that was ten or 15 years ago when some 20-something on a train ride were complaining about how the green party was everywhere (they had just peaked at 15% in the previous election) and how soon we&#x27;ll be obliged to eat green, to drink green coke, that everything is going to be organic, etc.<p>It was a weird mix of &quot;i don&#x27;t want to admit they are right so let just say anything bad about them&quot; and... I don&#x27;t know what. They are people in my work circle who voted for the far-right because they were &quot;fed up with the climate campaign&quot; (referring to the recent climate demonstrations). Like they would hold to any position to justify their own actions.<p>&quot;It&#x27;s the fault of environmental activists if we don&#x27;t go green because they scared us too much and we didn&#x27;t listen to them.&quot;<p>I think I see the same pattern in the anti organic arguments.<p>edit: Also, &quot;they are making me feel guilty, so they are bad and manipulative&quot;. Sorry, there isn&#x27;t much coherence to my post. Just my feelings.
