Some of the problems I have with this article:

  • It uses "Big Business" as a proper noun.

  • The author seems to think that four businesses controlling 85% and 2/3 of the beef and pork industries is terribly concerning. I can only imagine how upset they must be about the personal computer industry.

  • The author doesn't understand irony.

  • A random link is made between genetically modified crops and the financial crisis. The article just says that credit default swaps and widespread consumption of GM crops are both less than 20 years old. Apparently we should be terrified of everything that has recently become popular.

  • It jumps right into being terrified of GM crops, even though they have been widely demonstrated to be perfectly safe. No evidence of any way in which GM crops are, or could be, harmful is presented.

    The concerns in this article are pretty much bullshit. If people are interested in the subject, Oxford Press commissioned an informative book entitled Food Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know.
