But this post was not really about tomatoes. I just used tomatoes as an allegory for the prices we pay for everything these days.

It goes without saying that those who produce everything we eat are barely profiting from their labor. If they could sell directly to consumers, everyone would do well. But there are middlemen, otherwise known as corporations.

It's no secret that our country has been taken over by corporate predators who are bleeding all of us dry.

I don't know how to change it, but change it we must as we have become nothing more than indentured servants to the wealthy and the powerful.
