Answer 2

The problem is esentially, profits have taken the place of actually providing healthy sustenance for human beings. If you want to look at the problems of environmental degradation from monoculture farming/pesticides/water run-off/pollution, etc. look no further than MANSANTO.

Problems??? Are you saying food production is a bad thing? So I'm not supposed to eat? Well, environmentally speaking, high-yield farming is an excellent thing, although greens fail to realize it, because that way, more food can be produced in less space, therefore eliminating the need to use some land, and we can give it back to nature. (That sounded like a Greeny phrase, but it wasn't). But if you think producing food is a bad thing then....ok....
