I'll admit it's not exactly a straightforward comparison. And it's on each of us to weigh the costs and likelihood of becoming ill versus big tech causing pain. I have my weighting, you have yours.

On my scale, between their various meats, the pollutants they use, and the various spills (plenty listed in the article and online) I'd come down harder on Cargill than tech.

Statistically, I'm betting on big tech since they have caused me more pain. Now, a couple restaurant chains, I might have a different answer.

As to chemicals, do remember that the whole tech industry is built on companies that did significant dumping.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/09/silic...
