Their system actually encourages the movement of food across continents, pissing out deadly carbon fumes all the while. When are we going to realize that the epidemic of "free trade" agreements which parties of all stripes are clamouring to approve, will only increase this misguided behaviour and carry our planet ever-closer to the brink of oblivion? Who do they (the mega-food corps.) think they're kidding? This system comes at horrendous cost to ordinary people like you & me, paying untold billions through our taxes the cost of upkeep of airports, highways, bridges and all the rest. Not to mention, the relentless march of climate change and all that implies for future generations. As Naomi Klein might say, capitalism is now at war with all life on earth. Sorry, folks.

Ex: the Texas company that is suing Canada because <br />Quebec will not allow fracking under the St. Lawrence River For Christ's <br />Sake!!! I should hope not!<br />And a Cdn. gold mining company from Calgary is suing Costa Rica <br />because they can't do a toxic process there in the middle of a pristine<br />rain forest. Greedy companies, stupid politicians.Maggie Romaknoreply@blogger.com
