Americans prefer to avoid the (relatively low risk) flu shot, putting them at greater danger from the (relatively high risk) flu. Likewise, people prefer to avoid (relatively low risk) GMOs by driving in their (relatively high risk) automobiles to Whole Foods. A large group of unvaccinated organic food shoppers. What could possibly go wrong?

The system takes care of the system. Only the Predators will get paid.
