5. Because they are just weaving stupid arguments that don't even help themselves.

Even the first sentence is ass backwards:

"BIG" - In the context of activist groups, "big" is a derogatory term linked to the perception that the majority of farms are corporate farms.


Fuck that. They don't have the right to tell us what the context of the activist groups are, and are incredibly wrong. Any idiot knows that activists aren't saying the majority of farms are corporate, no more than activist say the majority of stores are Walmart. Rather, the majority of food we find in the stores are from big, corporate farms. Their percentage is irrelevant in terms of a headcount; its the volume stupid (as well as the practices that produce such volumne). Sure, any ass can register their operation as a farm. Thats not a problem. This isn't what activist are against. WTF is this person going on about? They are creating fake arguments and arguing against them (straw man). I don't know what their damn point is.

If any of these family farms really cared about perception and stupid arguments, they would start by building a massive wall between what they do and what the large corporate farms do. They do not have to rather muddle the fields with stupid arguments.

In any case, even what the little guy is doing is ecologically devastating when scaled up. We need a paradigm shift in agriculture, period.
