Potato Chips and Child Exploitation: A Story of Innocence Lost in Labour, Farmers in Gujarat India employ a workforce of docile Adivasi children to slave through the harvest season capitalist labor exploitation in rural India By the end of the workday, the truck is full, holding about 8,000 kilograms of potatoes, Potatoes are grown to make chips – the smart snack for an upwardly mobile and consumerist middle class, Potatoes do not block the farmland for prolonged periods. Once harvested, the land is free to be used again for another crop rotation – thus making it economically viable for the grower, who would ideally want to make as much profit from the land as is possible in one season, San Joaquin Valley which has some of California’s worst air quality, If this were a potato field like most in the valley the dust would contain TOXIC pesticide and herbicide residue Here the dust may be unpleasant but it is not toxic because the field is growing organic potatoes for one of California’s largest producers of organic vegetables Cal Organic Farms, Since the grower cannot use herbicides weed removal is accomplished by hand That means workers are hired to remove them instead of spraying the field with chemicals, Esparza also got in trouble over se*ual harassment lawsuit, A Neighbor’s Plea to Potato Giant: RDO is the nation’s largest potato grower and a McDonald’s supplier, farming 190,000 acres across several states. It also has annual profits projected at $2.5 billion, RDO’s chemically intensive potato-growing operation poisons drinking water, The tap water of 500,000 Minnesotans is now contaminated with elevated nitrates and the state has long recognized that agriculture is by far the biggest source of this water pollution, And newer research indicates that drinking water with 5 mg/L or even lower is associated with higher risks of colorectal cancer It’s not just nitrate fertilizer pollution in water that threatens the environment and health of the Taubers and their neighbors, Helicopters regularly spray chemicals over RDO potato fields – sometimes in midflight inadvertently dousing families out for walks, ETC!!!
