I believe the headline is a herring. It's a build up to this paragraph:
> You know where I’m going with this, right? I’m about to tell you that the company behind all this is Monsanto, or Shell, or Coca-Cola. That your car is running on the ethanol this plant is producing. That the U.S. government is funding or facilitating or failing to prevent what is taking place here.
> But none of that is true.
I enjoyed reading this article. It's like a story, and this is 'the twist' - one of many.
Even the first two subheadings are misleading.
"Naming the shameless" - Big company logo... Can I get my pitchfork? Nope. Turns out this company did the right thing.
"Village chief has 500 acre farm, 114 children"... Wow, this guy must be in on it!!! Nope. Turns out he got screwed too.
This is a story about a local company in Zimbabwe and a commentary on companies operating out of developing countries where there is not yet a system in place to penalize destructive behavior.
