A satire.
Shopping used to be simple. You bought food because it tasted good.
Today, every purchase arrives with a moral résumé.
- The coffee is Fair Trade.
- The chocolate is Rainforest Alliance Certified.
- The eggs are Cage-Free.
- The tuna is Dolphin Safe.
Soon the carton will tell you whether the chicken enjoyed equitable access to leadership opportunities.
With such established groundwork, the assertive red-green alliance / socialist-jihadi umbrella will undoubtedly develop a new standard for consumers to evaluate purchases:

Yep.
