...It is always about money. "Don't buy red meat, smoked foods, sprayed vegetables, nuclear power, U.S. timber, fertilized rice or inorganic fruit. Instead, send the money you save to the ANTIs so they can fight the evil producer."

subsidized farming, migrant labor, profit. – "Fill your speeches and books and solicitation letters with BUZZWORDS!"

BST, MSG, 10-80 – "As long as the public doesn't know what they mean we can plant suspicion in their minds. You must only repeat the BUZZWORDS often enough!"
