        Well, sometimes it helps to be precise about what you’re vilifying.

            I’d say a fair amount, but to be honest, it doesn’t really matter how I understand the word. It is just a word, it can have any arbitrary definition. I’m asking how others here define it so I can better communicate with them.

              The term is not being invoked arbitrarily.

              The rationale or motive behind the criticism is not to associate narrow grievances with a nebulous bogeyman.

              If you accept the fact of food insecurity, if you would wish for it to be resolved, and if you notice a conflict with the profit motive, then it may seem unnecessary to argue.
