: DDN: Observation: Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for ag giants to sell us something we all actually WANTED instead of things people tend to FEAR and HATE? How about untainted, organically grown, naturally nutritious and naturally tasty food? Isn't there a market for THAT?SDF: Sure there is, DDN, but organic food production doesn't require large corporate producers in the way that bio-engineered food does. I can produce organic food, and have done so on several occasions, and it was damn tasty to boot. Big corporations naturally like to structure the market so that they and they alone hold the reins of economic power.
: At the very least, who would complain? They wouldn't have to pay ANYbody off, the could shrink their PR departments down to a fraction of what they currently are, we'd be eating terrific food everywhere we went, and they'd be loved and respected by all. But no.
: I'm starting to wonder, other than money, what could be corporate agriculture's incentive for insisting that we all eat crappy, poisonous food? Ideas anyone?
SDF: "Other than money," DDN? Huh? You gotta be kidding.
None.
