Image of a Baiga woman hiding a smile behind her hands. She's wearing a green sari with bangles on her arms, wrists and neck. She has traditional tattoos on her face and arms. This Baiga woman was forcibly evicted from India’s Kanha forest – inspiration for The Jungle Book – in the name of tiger conservation.

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
