emerging from the rhetoric of anti-globalists, radical
environmentalists, and animal welfare extremists costs Americans
billions of dollars in lost income every year. This controversial

these groups on the agricultural industry.
The clear, concise, and readable book discusses specific events
and issues, helping readers understand how radical agriculturalists
think. Tweeten explains how half truths and false ideologies find
their way into our political systems and bring about bad public
decisions, increasing losses and causing global
repercussions.
