The Issue
After a recent left-wing broadsheet expose of agricultural practices, an outburst of public paranoia has stirred up the organic foods debate.

The Debate
"I just can’t stomach it any more," rants concerned parent Beth Fellow. "My children’s future is being put at risk by irresponsible corporate practices. We must outlaw the use of pesticides and additives by farmers and food producers."
[Accept]


"I’ve heard enough of this treehugging, lefty nonsense," argues corporate spokesman Anne-Marie Utopia. "The agricultural industry needs to use the most advanced technology available, it’s the only way to keep Hylind competitive in food production. Besides, the studies we have commissioned prove that only a very small number of child deaths are due to our products, and surely that’s acceptable rate in the name of progress?"
[Accept]


"Stop torturing Mother Earth!" yells outraged environmental extremist Buffy Rifkin "Are we prepared to sacrifice our planet and our souls for the sake a few extra credits? If we hope to live in harmony with the environment that nurtures and protects us, we must ban all industries that pollute our world. Let us return to the trees, my brothers!”
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think there should of been a 4th issue talking about how to make the chemicals better so its not killing children at all. 100 bucks after picking number 2 my nation will say something about children deaths are off the charts or something due to poisoness food products.

'Tis why I have puppets to monitor the effects of such issues, and when it has been determined the issue will have no desired effect on my nation no matter the option I pick, I dismiss it.

I recommend you do the same to prevent catastrophe (e.g. your political freedoms being dropped by picking option two of this issue {note: that probably won't happen, but you never know!}) from happening.

But then you miss half of NS, finding out about problems ahead of time.

That's not really enjoyable for me. I am trying to make my society a utopia, and picking an option only to have it ruin my statistics is no fun.

Thus, I have several puppets which alert me to such issues and the best option to choose.
