04/23/2009: "Big Agriculture takes umbrage at Mrs Obama's organic garden"

America's powerful agribusiness lobby has hit back at Michelle Obama's decision to make her new White House kitchen garden entirely organic, urging her to consider the use of appropriate "crop protection products".

More than 100,000 people have signed an online petition supporting Mrs Obama and asking MACA to stop its "propaganda about pesticides".

"Stop asserting that the First Lady is somehow disserving our nation's citizens by encouraging them to grow their own food locally, sustainably and without your industry's chemicals," the petition says. "We know better and you should, too."

[ President Obama backed down on the appointment of anti-Israel-First Chas Freeman when put under pressure by these type of gangsters - can we dare to hope that his wife is made of sterner stuff? ]

"Eat the rich!" - Dead Kennedys?

I read the linked article, and all this nonsense about "revolutions," none of this materialist propaganda matters if the planet is so despoiled and there are no humans left to enjoy it. At least I. G. Farben used their chemicals to kill real pests ... like Jews lol.

"If Americans were still required to farm to support their family's basic food and fibre needs, would the US have been leaders in the advancement of science, communication, education, medicine, transportation and the arts?" Would it really matter? And since when has America led in the arts? Unless you count the mostly shit that has been produced since the mid-twentieth century.
