Thanks for your time, Mr Moore.

Do you think that corporations and rich nations renting or buying land in another country for agriculture will be the norm in future and do you think that it is a good idea? How would you prevent exploitation of the undeveloped countries?

Got no problem with sponsored link - reddit needs to make some money somehow to pay for 6 team members who are working their bo**ocks off to give us free service.

And you can vote them down if you disagree so it won't appear on the hot page. ;)

Some context

Ask reddit: Is this the New Reddit? If so what are the changes?

Cross-postings of articles are inevitable with so many aggregators, blogs, social websites etc. on the Internet.

Reddit, why do you keep voting up this spammer? He owns vidvoting, passablynews, dailyexhumation and spams links again and again. Now, he's using redirection and sock puppets to hide his tracks.
