Ecological farming is what the rich happy few salve their giant ecological footprints with. Deconstructing the superficiality of social feelgood products should be combined with political confrontation of the mass production of food, and (the trampling of) animal rights.

Recent exponential growth of consumerism has forced me to abandon my apoliticality. Behold therefore the Arc de Triomphe of Ecological Farming in all its current glory.
