...danger for the people who promote all the products is that advertising runs the risk of overrunning its environment. Like animals who graze their savannas to stubble and humans who fill their cities to bursting, ads may simply exhaust the very resource that keeps them alive. That resource, in this case, is the goodwill of consumers. As any endangered animal can attest, what follows is extinction. For the dodo, that's a tragedy. For the banana sticker, it would be another thing entirely...

Then maybe we can get roads, and trucks will come to take our food to market. And then the stores and clinics will come back," he says. Already his younger children can go to school again, and a midwife has moved into the village...
...administration had created a space where students could, in the words of Knowles, "graze, rather than dine." And no wonder students didn't visit Loker once the $50 bribe ran out--if we wanted to graze or sit on unpadded chairs, Au Bon Plain is more centrally-located and serves better food at comparable prices. (You see, Catherine B. Loker made a mistake the Major had not; she trusted the administration to oversee the design and construction of a space for students...
