And let’s be honest, a lot of these chemicals get approved because of big money donations to politicians on both sides of the aisle...

Did I miss something, I thought this article was about genetic modification which has been going on through the ages. Without the increased production of this capitalistic activity, Malthus would be right, population would have outstripped food production and you would not be experiencing the “prosperity” we currently have.

Am I concerned about this? Yes, but look at the alternative path. Problems are never completely solved. Yes, we have lost genetic diversity, probably food nutrition is not what is should be, but we do have QUANTITY.

A conservative knows there are trade offs and we do not live in a perfect world.
