I still struggle with this. It implies that people are being directly evil and malicious instead of being incompetent.
I can somewhat see that being possible in food companies, but I just can't imagine a board room of people discussing how they can fabricate problems with natural foods in order to increase sales and then implementing it without anyone knowing anything and not turning into whistleblowers.
But it's hard to believe that they are not because only the superfoods are being affected. Cow meat and eggs. No wild birds have been falling out of the sky.
Where I'm from. Last week on the news, they said they found like 5 geese dead in a park, and they shut down the whole park. The whole block, and then that's it, you never hear about it again, and nobody asked questions it's because they're lying.
The people who raise cattle in shitty ways don't ever need to rely on cattle for their revenue; it's just one component. Now imagine a boardroom where cattle farming never gets mentioned, half of the members are recipients of bribe money, and thus the conversation focuses on more profitable, less politically risky topics
