I urge you to read through this news story. It details a comparison between the armed raid of a local food buying club and local farmers that have never had a single issue with illness or problems, to a multinational corporation that has dead victims from eating it's processed food products. The contrast is amazing and points out the unfair harassment that small farmers are under in america today. It has gotten to the point that small farmers doing things in a supposedly legal manner are being shut down and actually jailed, and as the story points out, treated as worse criminals than rapist and thieves.
Here is the article, but a word of warning.. it is upsetting to read.
