Multiculturalism is a socialist plot to destroy the prosperity and social cohesion of the west (which they hate) in order to create a world that they can control.

They can't point out any factually incorrect bits because there aren't any - and they know it.

Re: What's your conspiracy theory?
Actually I saw a UK doco the other day on a similar vein regarding food that makes us fat. Apparently the big supermarkets voted against UK government to clearly label foods according to health benefit as it would mean consumers vetoing against buying certain food products that would / could possibly send some big producers broke. For instance Cadburys chocolate which has a high fat content would be a "red" product i.e. no nutritious value and high fat content - Cadbury's were vehemently opposed as this would *taint* their market value so their representatives on the council voted against the labelling, as did other wealthy/influential companies for the same reason.
So in summary the accusation is "are producers of food making us fat" as consumers are not always aware of food content and the manufacturers of food know this and play on it.
Interesting concept - same as what you say with drugs i.e in whose interest are drug / food manufacturers working on

Never fails to amaze why someone thinks anyone who reads a certain newspaper that in fact the same person doesn't read a multitude of papers to gain a more rounded view of the world.
The only people slow of thinking are those who assume the stupidity of others.
Yep - that's exactly what the doco demonstrated i.e. the governments were being sponsored by the big food producers therefore what was being promoted was in line with what the food producers want the public to know, not what the government knows the public should be informed.
It's all about money

My favourite uni lecturer once said if you want to get to the root of what's going on... follow the money.
He was spot on.
