Eating heirloom raw organic vegan is the ultimate FUCK YOU to corporate America.

204. The OP presented a point of view. That person may be opposed to some sources of food, regardless

of their purity.

The term "factory farming" leaves me cold. If a farmer or farming entity grew vegetables in soil, used only environmentally healthy, plant based organic fertilizers and pest controllers, used only seeds that have a documented organic heritage, but grew the vegetables in a climate and moisture controlled greenhouse and used grow lights at times to provide a scientifically proven array of light for plants, I wonder what the "pure food" people would say. Would the fact that the farmer or farming company produce safe, healthy food that all citizens could afford to buy matter to the "pure food" crowd? One large issue that I have with some "pure food" is that their crusade involves only what is best for them and a thin circle of friends, they are fundamentally elitists. There are some "pure food" adherents that set up organic gardens in poor neighborhoods and provide advice to residents, those people deserve notice because they get that to be truly effective in spreading their view on food, they need to rub elbows with and work with the less fortunate.
