Another thing about capitalism...you can CHOOSE not to do business w/ those companies (in the sense that you don't have to buy their products off the shelves. We are forced to do business w/ them through govt guarantees and subsidies). Other companies supply foods which don't have those chemicals, right?

Other companies do supply those foods. Unfortunately, doing things the right way isn't nearly as efficient as manufacturing a "perfect" tomato. My point is that working to achieve maximum profit doesn't mean you're working for the greater good. Typically, it's profit for profit's sake.
