As farmer and writer Wendell Berry warns:
“The people will eat what the corporations decide for them to eat. They
will be detached and remote from the sources of their life, joined to them
only be corporate tolerance. They will have become consumers purely ­
consumptive machines ­ which is to say, the slaves of producers…it is
impossible to mechanize production without mechanizing consumption,
impossible to make machines of soil, plans and animals without making
machines also of people.”
