Texas Agriculture Talks | Are food extremists the New Luddites?

Texas Agriculture Talks | Are food extremists the New Luddites?: "The most extreme of modern Luddites was Ted Kaczynski, the infamous Unabomber. Other notable Luddites include the extreme environmental and animal rights groups that burn subdivisions and laboratories.

But Luddism has a less extreme, though just as destructive, face. This includes the people who just stop their collective feet and shout, “No!” to every agricultural advance that science can produce.

I keep thinking about those more than 9 billion people that will inhabit Planet Earth just four decades from right now."
