Avery acknowledges that Hudson is corporate-funded. His mission is their mission. Adolescent sarcasm is Milloy's forte. In addition to disputing the scientific basis for these concerns, Milloy frequently accuses the questioners of tainted motives. The media, he says, uses junk science to advance particular social and political agendas.
Social activists use it to achieve social and political change.
Government bureaucrats use it to fatten their budgets. Businesses use junk science to trash competitors' products or promote their own. The clients for whom Milloy was personally registered included Monsanto and the International Food Additives Council. Both Milloy and the EOP Group claim that he no longer works there, but he was still registered as an EOP lobbyist as recently as the summer of 1999. The Cato Institute has published two books by Milloy, Science Without Sense and Silencing Science, the latter with co-author Michael Gough, a former fellow Cato adjunct scholar.
