Son, we live in a world with mouths, and those mouths need to be fed by men with

Men and women with farms. Who’s going to do it? You. You, Mr. Internet commenter.

I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for these western diseases and curse my corn fields. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. that while the side effects of monoculture may be tragic, they probably saved millions of lives from starvation. And while my existence, which may be grotesque and incomprehensible to you, nevertheless saves lives.

You have the honor of dying from diabetes instead of starvation. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want corn and soy. You need corn and soy. The high energy and high protein miracle crops that can grow in any climate from the tropics to the desert and made animal protein affordable to you peasants for the first time in history. Do you want to be some stunted bean eating peasant towered over by some noble tyrant chopping his venison? I didn’t think so. We use words like glyphosate, chloretracy, ammonium nitrate. These are words that are the backbone of a life spent feeding people. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps with a belly full of the food that I provide and then criticizes the manner in which I provided.
