Agribusiness Does Wisconsin

I nominate the STATE of Wisconsin for consideration as well.
I'll give just one reason...meat and cheese not only comprise 95% of the local diet in 95% of the state, but these dairy products are produced by cows which are nearly-universally fed genetically modified soy, corn, etc. This would not have been possible without a massive, strategic campaign to disenfranchise the smaller, less ecologically destructive farmer who espoused ideas incongruous with unquestioned devotion to profit and production. With its scientifically-altered product and with a socially-brainwashed population that has so willingly swallowed this transformation, do you think Wisconsin is on the cutting edge of capitalism? HOT or NOT????
Well harry, its good to see a nice young man like yourself doing some good old critical analysis. As for your query, I would say a decided NOT HOT. Encouraging monoculture and energy intensive meat and dairy production has proven extremly wasteful! Not only that, but factory farming and cost cutting tends towards unsafe labor and health practices and should be avoided. But I'll leave the rest of the voting to the public...
