haha, thats the most ignorant view of third worldexplotation ive ever heard. The people are forced to work on these flower plantations because the companies that own them own all the land in the area, as such the only jobs are on the platation forwhat the company decides is a good wage (good for the company, not the worker).
The big flaw in your argument is that fact that while the flowers are worth 1000 an acre theworker only gets like 1 dollar an acre. If he grew an acre of corn then he would be much better off than growing profits for a huge company.

What the [censored] are you people talking about?? There is no such thing as third world flower exploitation. The big flower industry does not own any "all the land" in any area. In fact, the bulk of flower production is in the first world (as of mid-90s
link). In any case, EU flower demand is much higher than US demand.
Furthermore, it's terribly uneconomical for third-world farmers to grow food crops because of EU (and to a lesser extent, US) agricultural subsidies.
Part of what made the OP so hilarious was that he made up his entire rant out of whole cloth...
