The images are taken from the homepages of major North American food manufacturers and their organic subsidiaries, and are used to argue that organic food is often marketed in a way that aligns it with common critiques of the food industry. This article further argues that this marketing presents consumption of organic products as aligned with food activist values, which is especially disconcerting given the consolidated nature of the organic food industry.
