1.) Foer has no standing because he has no experience or subject matter expertise. I claim he’s GIVEN standing in the form of a NYT opinion piece because he’s white. See the difference?

2.) If you don’t know what a CAFO or other basic agricultural terms mean, this discussion is beyond your pay grade. Especially if you can’t figure out how to Google “CAFO.”

3.) If you claim race, agriculture, and environmentalism in the United States aren’t joined at the hip, you are either a fool or a liar

4.) The essay makes perfect sense. You just can’t get over your own White ethnocentrism. Die mad about it.
