Three months before he died, I began to steal things from my father's house. I wandered around barefoot and slipped objects into my pockets.

I know that organic farms can be industrial and just as large and impersonal as conventional farms. Sometimes the free-range chickens aren't even allowed outside, and so they cluck-walk packed tight in a dim lit barn. But organic farms use fewer chemicals.
