Yes especially to grow palm oil.
They'll probably grow protein in a petri dish soon so we can eat erm... "burgers" without worrying.
And you no doubt know that it's all done for the benefit of the likes of BK & MacDonald's and not for the local inhabitants barring a few bob...
I'll quote Michael Parenti again as it seems appropriate..
''the essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and capital,the live green earth is turned into dead cold bricks,with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many.The glittering mansion overlooks the vast sprawl of shanty towns,wherein a desperate,demoralised humanity is kept in line with drugs,televison and armed force''
So unless you are anti capitalist, and shun the trappings of capitalism, then you are part of the problem rather than the solution.
