That's how I read the blog post by Louis Proyect (who I assume you consider to be a Marxist) at the head of this thread. An exact quote: "we need a socialist movement, not a food movement". Also see the bizarre hostility towards people like Eric Schlosser and Michael Pollan. > There is an identifiable overlap of cruelty to humans and cruelty to > animals.

I know that there are throwaway comments here and there, but I would be very interested in reading an extended analysis if there is one. -raghu.
