Injections of certain chemicals which are normally produced in small amounts by many crops have been show to increase the crop harvest dramatically without an increase in plantings and other expensive treatments. The United States Foods and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to consider licensing the commercial productive of these chemicals.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest criticism of the FDA’s plan?
(A) Increased plant production increases the susceptibility of salmonella developing on the crops thereby reducing the amount of useable crops.
(B) The FDA intends to employ stringent requirements when issuing permits for producing these chemicals.
(C) The chemical companies that will be producing the chemicals will obtain large short-term profits.
(D) The chemicals will not hurt the chances for survival of the family vegetable farms, which typically have small fields of crops.
(E) Many small vegetable farms are going out of business because they cannot charge prices high enough to cover their costs.
