Fuck the Agro-Industrial Complex

If you have a conflict between independent science on the one side and market forces/economic factors on the other side, there is no compromise.

Between the unchanging laws of nature and a human-made system to quantify value, exactly one side can be influenced, changed and compromised with.

This has been like this with tobacco, chlorofluorocarbons, DDT, fossil fuels, neonicotinoids, endocrine disruptors... The list goes on.

Yet, more often than not, independent science is ignored by those in power for the benefit of lobby groups, industry and more "realistic" and less "idealistic" solutions. Leave those people in an enclosed space with a car engine running and ask them again, which is more "real": The molecules in the air or the money in their wallets.
