To be fair - mass production of veg has lead to a phenomenal loss in its nutritional value at the gain of output and transportability...
I don't think that unfettered capitalism leads to good diet - the invisible hand seems to help our diet be nutritionally much worse than 100 years ago.
I don't suggest avoiding GMO based on Luddite superstition but I feel a healthy dose of skepticism is pretty essential when dealing with mass production of fruit and veg...
Maybe people in the states are scared of scientific meddling... Maybe here in the UK.
I'm not - but developing plants that cannot produce their own seeds so that corporations can ensure you buy them again every year is also definitely something it seems sensible to oppose (on the basis of a safe spread of power - food is life).
