A small minority have been loudmouthed assholes.

Have you worked with very many CEOs at SMEs? Based on my experience it seems to match the description, by and large.

Alright friend, OP certainly never implied “giving government ubiquitous control over the food supply” by any means, so at least this is clearly a simple case of strawman fallacy.
