Price of Progress
This reminds me of the same theme in the work by Jared Diamond and others in regards to our modern lifestyle vs a tribal and traditional lifestyle. So we can see that the foods we consider normal are just as bad for people who are not used to them as they are for people who are habituated to them. Is it right or wrong? Of course we wil all agree that doing these things to groups is wrong, yet what can we do about it? Not much. These multinational corporations are beholden to no one (ostensibly they are responsible to their stockholders) except the CEO's who are paid 1000 times the amount of the lowest paid worker, and this is in the USA! SO these multinational corporations are effectively becoming their own countries which are not bound by the same laws as the regular companies in a country and hold no allegance to any country.
