Ah, so is this your roundabout way of saying there was nothing inaccurate about my short definition of a CAFO, while at the same time, implying I must be an activist/vegan of some sort because I've read a few books and seen a documentary or two? Or that I have some deficiency in scientific training because I have made some changes in how I eat due to concerns about how food is produced?

Having farmed for a number of years, I feel I have some small knowledge of the system, though I am hardly an expert. Having training in a couple of scientific disciplines, I feel comfortable in that area as well.

Let me make a guess about you:

Food scientist? Corn farmer? Fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide sales?

(Leaping to conclusions is fun!)  smiley: laugh

And thanks for the apology, but I don't see that you owe me one. You're arguing for your political position, that doesn't offend me. If it does, I'd better find a board about bunnies and daisies....smiley: roll



Political tags, such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth, are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. - Robert A. Heinlein
