If there's someone I trust to keep me up on food and farming, it's Sarah Taber, of Farm to Taber fame, and this thread about how Taylor Farms didn't just drop the ball, they dropped a whole stack of balls which had been carefully and meticulously balanced for years, is impressive.
Impressive in a lot of ways, really. The decision of TF to go for the uncertainty and doubt rather than launching an immediate investigation is incredibly telling about the corporate landscape. They could have said, "Oh crud, our bad, let's fix this," but instead they let it go until the diarrhea hit the fan.
And this is an action which, in this day and age, is likely to be rewarded.

@theogrin@chaosfem.tw It's part of the ongoing corporatisation of farming, and it happens all over the world, even in supposed beacons of civilisation like the EU. And this has been going on for a long, long time. In a sense, food hasn't been food for a long time. It, and the land and labour required to produce it has always been subjected to the need (nay, desire) for commoditisation. This should be obvious, but in this day and age, we still have farmers wearing "no farmers, no food" propaganda tee-shirts, totally oblivious that they've hooked themselves up to a disenfranchisement machine.
