Some might dispute that. I'd rather get worked up over mega corporations
bent on dominating the world's seed, and therefore food, supply.

They are essentially the same people. Chemferts kill the soil organisms
which leads to loss of top soil. Chemferts (nitrates) have infiltrated
the aquifers of the midwest and are poisonous to children. Chemfert
run-off pollutes our water ways and creates a 22126 square kilometre
(8543 mi?) region in the Gulf of Mexico called a dead zone around the
mouth of the Mississippi River.

Chemferts encourage huge monoculture planting of GM corn, GM soybean, GM
cotton in the same place, over and over, allowing organisms that attack
them to build-up in the soil, requiring more and more pesticides.
This is encouraged by Monsanto, that sells the seeds, and companies like
Cargill who process and fractionate the crops, and companies like
Phillip Morris (now Altria Group) who sell the cheap, nutrient deficient
food to the American public.

It's all cut from the same cloth Dan.
