So in your estimable opinion.. as an alleged “luddite” I wish to put all farmers out of business? Or would that just be CAFO farmers and not the smaller independent organic/self run Farmers.?
Luddites destroyed all manufacturing machinery because they could not let go of the past.
We simply want the good guys to have a chance at a future without Government interference and grow their own food as they see fit.
Good gracious! I guess “Luddites” cannot be Conservative .
Or perhaps purists cannot get out of their fundamentalism?
Color me convinced.
Steve Forbes has used the phrase ‘Food Luddites’ in some of his writings about the closed minded approaches of many ignorant people towards modern methods of food production. It’s a good description, which is why I’ve adopted it too.
He properly has noticed that the Food Luddites want to destroy all of the food producing machinery that has been put in place over the decades by farmers, scientists, and agricultural specialists.
The above statement conflicts with your desire for additional regulation through more labeling requirements.
If you indeed want less interference with farmers then you would let farmers decide whether they want to be CAFO or not. The fact is, the EPA definitions allow it to designate any livestock producer they want as a CAFO, irrespective of reality or reason.
