good luck with your campaign to change big business. had any progress yet?
does that mean that people who can't afford to buy organic deserve to get cancer?
no, but buying healthy food is not expensive and not a class issue. buying organic, yes, may be unaffordable for most people, but that doesn't mean eating healthy is. the highest concentration of carcinogens is found in animal flesh. this isn't a point up for debate, it is a fact. since most carcinogens (read hormones, pesticides, herbicides) are either aromatic or halogenated hydrocarbons they will naturally reside and build up in the food chain in sources of fat, namely animal fat. while it may be ideal in your world for people to be able to do whatever they please, without consequence, and eat whatever they like and blame everything on big business, this does a huge disservice to the fact that educating people on how to eat healthier has a bigger impact on their lives than your campaign against agribusiness ever will.
