"Konsumen ingin makanan semurah mungkin. Produser menginginkannya semahal mungkin. Keduanya ingin melibatkan sesedikit mungkin tenaga kerja. Maka standar murah dan nyaman, yang sangat menyederhanakan dan karenanya eksploitatif, telah diganti dengan standar kesehatan (baik manusia maupun tanah), yang akan menegakkan pertimbangan kompleksitas esensial."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The consumer wants food to be as cheap as possible. The producer wants it to be as expensive as possible. Both want it to involve as little labor as possible. And so the standards of cheapness and convenience, which are irresistibly simplifying and therefore inevitably exploitive, have been substituted for the standard of health (of both people and land), which would enforce consideration of essential complexities.
