The War on Food

Paul Driessen struck a nerve when he asked, “who is directing the war on agriculture and nutrition?”

People have been debating the issues he raised and sharing his article with their friends on Facebook.
As CFACT’s senior policy analyst explains, the warming-Left doesn’t just want to control your energy, they’re coming for your food.

“Like the rest of the ‘agro-ecology’ movement, they deride and malign modern agriculture as a scourge inflicted by greedy mega-corporations. They oppose fossil fuels, pesticides, herbicides, and biotechnology. They extol ‘food sovereignty’ and the ‘right to choose.’ But their policies reflect top-down tyranny and bullying, with little room for poor farmers to embrace modern agricultural technologies and practices.”

Driessen lists a host of enviro and climate pressure groups, billionaire funders, and even the World Economic Forum as leading the war on food. Importantly he identifies government agencies that have been in collusion with them.

Leftist organizations meddling in our food supply is terrible news for American farmers and consumers as well as for those in other industrialized nations.

Now Kamals Harris wants the federal government to seize control of food pricing!

Driessen writes that, “South Africa’s electricity minister recently said his country will not be ‘turned into a guinea pig for a worldwide Green New Deal.’ Hopefully, all developing countries will soon apply that same attitude to anarchists who would use the world’s poor as guinea pigs in global agricultural and nutrition experiments.”

The myriad supply chains it takes to stock grocery shelves are far too complex and important to trust to bureaucrats.

For nature and people too,
