...this should be obvious to anyone paying attention to discussions of GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup, chemical 'flavor enhancers' and all the rest of the dubious corporate crud with which they infest our diets.
"...it is a growing trend for controversial companies, especially food companies, to combat negative comments from critics with professional cyber armies..."
The same thing could be said of Big Pharma & Big Medical-Industrial Corporate Complex.

(86,577 posts)I do my best to avoid packaged foods, restaurants and food whose source I cannot trace. I have been a professional cook in the past and found it hard to acquire untainted food.
I had an exclusive clientele so I was able to cater to their tastes while satisfying my own, I promised them when I took over kitchen management that I would never serve them anything that I would not eat myself. I proved it by joining them at every meal to show that I was eating the same food. They really appreciated that.
If I had the $$ to start up, I have a (I hate to use the term business but...) business model to relieve food desert problems while providing "clean" produce. Wish I could get the funds to get it going as it not only addresses food problems but also creates jobs and housing for those willing to put in the effort in a co-op style of operation.
