In his essay “The Organic Fable‚” Roger Cohen argues that there is little to no difference between organic foods and regular foods. He says‚ “Organic has long since become an ideology‚” says it is branding‚ not science‚ and says we need genetically modified food anyway to feed more people. He also says it is an‚ “obsession of an upper middle class‚” and compares buying organic foods to‚ “paying to send your kids to private school.” I believe‚ though‚ that his argument is biased and inconsistent‚

It is about a lonely person of colour who is on the bus. “Another lonely bus ride home.” He lives in a place where there is not many people of colour “and stare out at winter” (signifying to the whiteness of people around). Little things such as “then at the floor/and see our black jube jubes/ Squished‚ / by and irritated stamp” hints to the racism in the society. Jube jubes are gummy candies and black (liquorice) is the least popular flavour
