Dear Argus,
I am writing to you on behalf of WesFruity! (Wesleyan Fruit Rescue Urgently Immediately Today, Yes!) We were gravely offended by Peter Glidden’s senior art thesis “PRODUCEd.” It represents a wanton destruction of fruit (and vegetables) in today’s society. In a time where so many people worldwide live without access to fresh produce, Peter’s wasteful attitude in the name of art exemplifies greater global fruit problems.
In today’s conflicted world, fruit has become a mere social construct. We now only think of fruit’s nutritional value, not as a living thing that has rights just like us. If you are interested in rights for fruits, we urge you to check out the global movement at Thebillofrightsforfruit.org.
Fruitily yours,
Ursula Grapenhoffer ’08
WesFruity!
