In reply to the discussion: United Nations Calls for an End to Industrialized Farming [View all]SidDithers
(44,228 posts)6. The UN announced no such thing...
the truth-out article you posted links to Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, and her nutter website Institute of Science and Society. Post the link to the UN report, not some pretend journalist's report of a quack's interpretation of something from the UN.
truth-out is becoming more and more like HuffPo everyday, with their credulous "reporting" on dumbassery and health-woo, using completely unreliable sourcing.
Be sure not to miss the in-depth series from Mae-Wan Ho about the wonders of homeopathy.
