    Let me repeat myself. Profit seeking in agribusiness kills 9 million people per year.

          How are they dying? Is it due to issues in quality control? Worker safety? Or are you attributing world hunger deaths to the agricultural industry? Big numbers are cool, but they’re awesome when they are elaborated.

            Starvation, numbnuts.

            People are dying of starvation.

            Try to follow along. I know it’s hard, but please try.

              That’s caused by things much bigger than the food industry. This has its roots deep in human psyche.

              The uncomfortable truth is that we are all responsible for the food crisis. Inaction is the biggest cause.

              Only by changing global and local policies will we begin to solve this.

              Your method for changing them is yours to choose. History has shown a myriad of options. All stem from individuals teaming up, deciding a course of action and acting on it.

              The first step to teaming up is learning social skills. Calling people names is very detrimental. Especially the people who might join you.

                Food production and distribution is controlled through an immense concentration of power.

                The food industry has no social value if not to prevent needless suffering and death from food not being available to everyone.

                The current system is lacking any social legitimacy. It exists for profit, not people.

                The problem is the system, not “the human psyche”.

                You were called names because you continue to make objections that are inane and obstructive.
