Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Person 1: "Oh, and do you have any special dietary restrictions?"
• Person 2: "I'm a generivore."

Panel 2:

• Person 1: "What?"
• Person 2: "I exclusively eat mass-produced products. The more mass-produced, the better."

Panel 3:

• Person 2: "Variety and artisanal craftsmanship divert valuable economic inputs! If we all used the same bar soap or basic jeans instead of needing 4,000 versions of everything, productivity would grow much faster."

Panel 4:

• Person 2: "Increased productivity reduces poverty, grows retirement portfolios, and is associated with longer lifespan and lower infant mortality!"

Panel 5:

• Person 1: "God, why must everything in modern life be a fraught moral choice?"

Panel 6:

• Person 2: "Your small batch organic habanero and truffle sea salt kale chips are murder, Salty! They are murder!"
