From the Campaign For Real Farming

hit counter scriptBut as John Ruskin commented in 1858 in ‘The Work of Iron,
in Nature, Art, and Policy,
“ … whenever we buy … cheap goods -- goods offered at a
price which we know cannot be remunerative for the labour
involved in them … remember we are stealing somebody’s
labour. Don’t let us mince the matter. I say, in plain Saxon,

STEALING -- taking from him the proper reward of his work,
and putting it into our own pocket.”
The upper case in the above is Ruskin’s own.
