Broccoli.
You don’t think farming is political? O.o
I speak of the Platonic ideal of broccoli, please don't sully it with your crude materialism.
Who came up with this ideal? Why did they define it like that? Are there better ways to define broccoli? Why do we call it broccoli? What's the meaning of politics and therefore political? Who... Fuck.
1: Some Italian I guess. 2: Because it be like that. 3: No. 4: Italians speak funny. 5: Everything but broccoli. 6: Anyone that consents as long as you don't hurt nobody.
Farm subsidies, ad subsidies for that sector, pesticide use and regulation for vegetables, labor laws for harvesting, etc. etc.
Just broccoli. That other stuff is the politics surrounding the pure form.
If you don't think food is political, you're not paying attention. 'Every society is three meals from chaos'
