herbicide and pesticide... whoa ! - rjmm1

"i don't think versiontracker should be promoting any product that says that endangering the health of people and animals and poisoning the earth is ok."

Don't you think you'd better start by getting all the games involving war and dangerous driving etc., banned first?

I'm a hippy and I eat organic wholefood as much as practical (yes I wear sandals and ride a bike too); I also happen to know that organic food production rules permit some agri-chemicals: just those which are considered `natural'. We are also refused information about whether some ingredients are genetically modified (to protect US soya interests: almost all US soya is GM, and it's used to make the common emulsifier lecithin). I need a bigger back garden so I can grow more of my own food...

You have a point about this game; but you should also know that almost all agriculture in the 21st century depends on
agri-chemicals, like it or not. If artificial pesticides and fertilizers were banned today, hundreds of millions would be dying of starvation before the year's end.

If you'd like a game to propagandize for sane food production standards, don't do that intolerant, bigoted American thing of wanting to ban what you don't like: take the civilised European line, create something that pushes your ideas, and get it out there into the marketplace.

And then, maybe, one day, we'll have global agriculture producing wholesome food in a sane and sustainable fashion at a rate to feed well the many billions of people we've got to feed here on Earth.

Prince Charles (as in `of Wales') is walking the walk: he's set up a large scale operation that sells very high quality food in `normal shops', all of it made in sane, traditional fashion. Just one taste is enough to convince most people that there's still some point to royalty. That's what you ought to be doing, not whinging and demanding a ban.

Whoa indeed. Strong reactions to software one hasn't even tried. We sat, we thought, we wrote. It's here: http://www.clarkwood.com/articles/fake_cruelty/
