The future we have been sold doesn’t work. Applying the principles of the factory floor to the natural world just doesn’t work. Farming is more than a business. Food is more than a commodity. Land is more than a mineral resource. | |
— James Rebanks | |
(An English farmer’s account of the changes he is seeing) | |
as quoted by: Andrew Sullivan | |
From Sullivan’s opinion piece / article: “Our President’s Emotional Bait and Switch“ | |
Which I found on www.msn.com at: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/our-president%e2%80%99s-emotional-bait-and-switch/ar-AAnKTg4 | |
That, in turn referenced the New York Times at: http://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/opinion/an-english-sheep-farmers-view-of-rural-america.html?ref=opinion&_r=0 | |
Sullivan’s article originally appearing in: “Daily Intelligencer“ | |
Which is a section under New York Magazine | |
