As much as bashing capitalism is in vogue. I'd take capitalism running the food system over communism any day. The reverse article could have been written 50 years ago. "Starving communism: How collectivism killed the kitchen"

#14Capitalism will sell you guns and crosses, it depends on what people demand. If you go to Italy there are no mc donald's. It's a cultural issue, not a problem of the the economic system.

#18I have the pleasure of working with some small scale farmers and they are the truth. We are destroying our soil health for short term profit. We need more regenerative farming but PE doesn’t like the margin on that. Yvon Chounaird advocates for bringing small scale farming back. It’s good honest work that could help with our unemployment and purpose issues while restoring planetary health.

Can small scale regenerative farming scale enough to feed everyone? I would love to read more if you can point me to some resources.
Yvon talks about it a bit in “Let my people go surfing” but if you want something more focused I’m not sure. I’ve mostly picked stuff up through convos here and there, haven’t done a deep dive.
I haven’t read this but it sounds promising: https://www.patagonia.com/product/regenerating-earth-farmers...

#20I Tracked Down The Company Ruining Restaurants https://youtu.be/rXXQTzQXRFc
Sysco has always been a major broadline vendor to restaurants for 30+ years. What I didn't know is they exploit/ed 13a exception prison slavery and overseas slavery too. Honestly, I'm surprised they're not yet completely owned by private equity.
