Like with most of the posts on OB, this post makes a litany of confusing and incorrect assumptions:

* That the forces present in the US's current agricultural system are not government-driven;

* That the government and corporations are entities of a kind, and centralization in one can be used as a parable against the other without any further contextualization;

* That we don't have ample, concrete evidence of the exact opposite outcomes predicted (i.e., developed, social democratic states that exercise central control over the food chain to the direct benefit of quality, safety, and public health).
