Quote by Robert Patterson

If we as a society are willing to have a preference for organic food, the farmer can pass on the savings.


If we as a society are willing to have a preference for orga

Summary

This quote suggests that if society supports and prefers organic food, it can benefit farmers financially. Choosing organic produce often requires more expensive farming practices, such as avoiding synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. If consumers show a willingness to pay higher prices for organic goods, farmers can afford these methods and pass on their savings to the consumer. This implies that consumer demand impacts agricultural practices and pricing, making organic food more accessible and affordable for all.

I got hold of a copy of the video that showed how Saddam Hussein had actually confirmed himself in power. This snuff-movie opens with a plenary session of the Ba'ath Party central committee: perhaps a hundred men. Suddenly the doors are locked and Saddam, in the chair, announces a special session. Into the room is dragged an obviously broken man, who begins to emit a robotic confession of treason and subversion, that he sobs has been instigated by Syrian and other agents. As the (literally) extorted confession unfolds, names begin to be named. Once a fellow-conspirator is identified, guards come to his seat and haul him from the room. The reclining Saddam, meanwhile, lights a large cigar and contentedly scans his dossiers. The sickness of fear in the room is such that men begin to crack up and weep, rising to their feet to shout hysterical praise, even love, for the leader. Inexorably, though, the cull continues, and faces and bodies go slack as their owners are pinioned and led away. When it is over, about half the committee members are left, moaning with relief and heaving with ardent love for the boss. (In an accompanying sequel, which I have not seen, they were apparently required to go into the yard outside and shoot the other half, thus sealing the pact with Saddam. I am not sure that even Beria or Himmler would have had the nerve and ingenuity and cruelty to come up with that.)
