Critique of modern agriculture in song

One of our gradudate students sent me a link to this music video performed by a band, Wookiefoot, he recently saw in concert.

A video I put together for the song Junk Food. It is the second track off of the new Wookiefoot album, Be Fearless and Play. Concert footage is property of Todd, aka Chykymunky and photos are copyright of Marshall Lee. Video is from the movie Food Inc.

If you couldn't follow along, here's a sample of some of the lyrics

Then McDonalds got a farm GM GM GMO
And on that farm he had a chicken and a cow
But they do now you really don’t wanna know
Why must we label it organic
When that’s the way we’ve been growing it for ten thousand years

I don't suppose it would do any good to mention what organic really means or to show what agriculture really looked like 10,000 years ago?
