Big, industrialized agriculture is hardly a new target. We’ve heard a lot over the past few years about how we’re losing food taste and quality, how we’re being poisoned by hormones and antibiotics, and how food is being genetically modified to become virtually unrecognizable – and how it’s all driven by the demands for bigger and bigger profits.
