In my opinion, the principle underlying Gresham's Law can be applied in completely different contexts. Bad behavior can drive out good behavior. Selfishness drives out sympathy. Synthetics displace the natural world.

Getting to the bottom line, it doesn't look like it! Human-created synthetics are displacing the world of Nature, with very problematic results.
At the very least, we ought to know what we're eating. That's what Proposition 37, on the November ballot, is all about.
