In the US?
I think its not only in the US... in fact the US has safer food than many other places(though safe and healthy does have a fine line). At least the states HAS regulations and a debate about it. Some parts of the world, you just dont know what chemicals are used as pesticides.
I think we should be thankful that the food is edible and the water is clean... we arent in a third world country.
Ask yourself what country you live in. Ask yourself why you worship rich people.

no? The USA is getting pretty close to a 3rd world country, where the top 1% have everything and the bottom 99% have nothing. Take a drive out to the "heartland", see the people. See how they live. Then take a drive to Manhattan. See the 1,000 billionaires hiding in plain sight (watch out for their private security goons though, they'll break your balls, literally). See their 12 homes around the globe. See their 1,000 acre horse farms, their vintage Ferrari collections, their massive art collections. See their 55,000 square foot beach houses (with indoor and outdoor tennis courts).Show Image(http://dailybail.com/storage/steve-cohen-house.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1353522102564)

Ask yourself what country you live in. Ask yourself why you worship rich people. Ask yourself why rich people pay less tax than you do. Ask yourself why Wall Street Hedge Fund managers don't have to live by the same rules that you do. Ask yourself why the biggest banks are allowed to gamble with your tax dollars. Why is it heads they win, tails you lose? What happened to the SEC? the IRS? the FBI? the Justice Department? the Courts? Are they asleep? Bought and paid for? Incompetent? You tell me, 'cuz I can't figure it out.
As for Monsanto, they are one of the most evil organizations that ever existed. Agricultural runoff is now the biggest polluter of the water supply in the US. Mainly because of Monsanto, but also because the plutocratic (and kleptocratic) CEO's who run the biggest American corporations have moved almost all manufacturing to China to increase profits for themselves, so the industrial pollution is centered over there now. But it's a small planet, and the pollution eventually comes back around to the USA again.
What can you do? Don't give up. You can fight back. First thing to do is to vote. If you don't vote, then you're not even trying. Second, you can become active. You can call your elected representatives. Do you even know all the people who represent you? Who is your state representative? Who is your City Council member? Start emailing and calling these people. Tell them you don't want to be poisoned by Monsanto. Eventually they will listen. Third, you could actually go out and protest something. Fourth, if you don't want to get your head busted at a protest (who does), then give money to people who do the protesting or the fighting of pollution. Lastly, whatever you do, don't give up. Then you really are done.
Remember that all it will take is a few tweaks the US tax code, and a few regulatory enforcement officers to enforce the laws that we already have, and the world will become a lot more fair, and a lot less polluted.
Jesus. Do you believe in the Iluminati to? Not even going to start a rant. But unless solid UNBIASED (this is key) evidence is shown, then it is just another conspiracy theory to me. I bet you beleive that vaccinations are bad for you to. Because of this thinking and people spreading lies like this, diseases that have long thought not to be a problem are starting to show up more. Please stop.

You could solve that whole "being alive problem" of yours real quick. Not only that you would reduce environmental impact, reduce energy consumption, bolster the job market, and reduce the amount of space on the geekhack servers your potential future posts would take up.
Just food for thought.

^this LOL. I agree with you ethos. US is corrupt as it is and its not getting better. Its been a while since I lived in the states but I can assure you all those problems are not limited to the US. Gap between the rich and poor? Corrupt government? and on topic, questionable food? Yes, the financial crisis from wal street was a big "**** you" to the world. Yes, the military power US holds is a big "**** you" to the world. Yes, the pure political power US holds over everyone else is.. yup you guessed it, a big "**** you".
Yet as a US citizen can we complain when there are many more places worse than the US? Im not refering to the stereotypical "compare us to Africa" but in terms of BASIC rights. Edible food. Freedom of speech. Free will. Since Im in Korea Ill give some examples here. Some time ago, a professor in Korea was sent to jail for speaking against the president. Porn is blocked in Korea. Gambling is illegal here unless youre a foreign citizen(online included). TBH, I feel privileged here just for holding a US passport, nothing else. BUT, we're all people. Why cant some citizens in certain countries say what they want? free will? Why cant some join Facebook? or watch youtube? Why cant we spend money the way we want? gamble?
My point is, we should be happy for who we are and where we are.

The United States is not a pure capitalist economy. More of a corporate capitalist, maybe plutocracy, with protections for certain interests. We are becoming a society of the haves and the have-nots.
Pure capitalism scares the sh!t out of me, by the way, because of the dehumanization and destruction to the environment. While capitalism does create incredible innovation and choice in the marketplace, our long-term well-being become secondary to short-term benefit. I will not act like I have any grand solution to these problems, because attempting to mold civilizations based your flawed vision leads to forcing your belief on others, and a potentially repressive system. I simply react by attempting to care about people, live a low-impact lifestyle, and rant about environmental concerns.
Ethos is absolutely right. You don't frickin ever give up if there is a problem that you identify that needs to be addressed. There will always be critics, but if you feel something should be done, do something about it.
