Farmers Rally at White House to Protest Monsanto's GMO Empire

26. they are greedy bastards is what defines them

We may not like this reality, but it is there and to deny it is to wear blinders to those who would die of malnutrition (there is an argument to be made their products cause malnutrition, but that's another issue) and the White House and progressives cannot by their philsophy, support anything that starves the poor. Those with ideas about nutrition who resist GMO and agribusiness food, may not have seen that people do survive eating what some see as swill.

this is backwards- who is being saved from malnutrition anywhere in the world by GMOs?

have GMOs helped keep people from starving ANYWHERE in the past 30 years?

But it doesn't feed the millions of Americans who don't have yards, who aren't rural, may be going to food banks and who are very dependent upon agribusiness for their food. So they get a seat at the table, since utopia has yet to arrive.

again, backwards- what kind of agri business supplies a food bank? people on WIC should be forced to eat mutant food? what?

Is this man a shill, or has he come to an inconvenient truth, one we don't want to accept and find distasteful?
Or has he simply come to realize that the Earth's carrying capacity through our beloved vision of natural agriculture, believed to be sustainable and well proven, could sign the death warrant for millions or billions of our fellow humans - even if we don't believe it will work in the long run?

the man is just plain wrong. he doesn't list a single 'fact' or 'truth' in his reasons for changing his 'mind'

I'm really at a loss to advocate either path now, unable to turn a blind eye to either the suffering of other life forms and humans I do not know.

it is easier to get a new job than a new planet
