The racist British National Party is anti-GM food, Alex Jones claims all kinds of conspiracies in that area, naturalnews.com is far right wing (sample: "10 urgent preparations for possible riots after the Presidential election&quot , the Tory British Health Secretary believes in homoeopathy - the keenest supporter of alternative medicine in the UK parliament is a Tory - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tredinnick_%28politician%29#Support_for_complementary_and_alternative_medicine ...

Western Meds Big Pharma conspiracy, anti-GMO, anti biotech is almost exclusive to the left". There is BS talked on the biological side of woo by the left, but the right is just as bad about it.
