I think one of the most pernicious aspects of the modern environmental movement is the romanticization of peasant life, and the idea that "industrial capitalism" and industrial societies are the destroyers of the world. Without it, we would have died off long ago ...
Fools.
People, animals and vegetation lived on this planet for millions of years, and they were doing just fine, it's how WE came about..from generation to generation. The industrial capitalism brought: cancer, diabetes, MS, ADD and all other degenerative diseases, not to mention the destruction of the environment. There are 1.2 billions pounds of pesticides dumped on our lands every year. What do you think those do to our health and our environment? Get educated!
CHEMRISK - a research company hired by the Corn Refiners has recently taken down it's YouTube page.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the high-fructose corn syrup ad campaign. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See the last remaining ChemRisk video at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.
It's because the numbers are NOT in balance. The more cattle is raised for meat eaters, the more methane.
Its really good for exercising your brains...
