corporations are not bound by the seasons. Instead, they make use of extreme amounts of energy in order to distribute their food around the world: “The combined company now controls seventeen thousand acres across California, enough land that it can, like Earthbound, rotate production up and down the West Coast in order to ensure a twelve-month national supply of fresh organic produce” (Pollan 174). If this is the case, my lifestyle relies even more heavily on the industrial food system because…

Bruegel and Warhol: Paving the Way to Morality in their Respective Times Artists, Pieter Bruegel and Andy Warhol are geniuses in their own rite. Bruegel lived in an era, where religion, warring, and class were in constant tension. His paintings depict the societal ills of his time, masked in mythology, and religious themes.
