Why buy a cow when milk is cheap?

Here's a story about a nice lady who goes to the farmer's market and buys some fresh produce.
Via the Awl, who also say 'Warning: Not really safe for work! Also sort of terrifying and dark!', though I'm not sure if I agree with that or not. Why don't you judge for yourselves?

The tube is identified as "douche", not "lube". I feel this is an important detail and integral to understanding the narrative. Frankly I'm a bit offended you got it so wrong.

It's a feminist take on the relations between woman, nature and foodstuffs. The woman, no longer subjected by the patriarchy (here represented by the farmer's market) is able to realize a truly meaningful and spiritual connection to nature, food and herself through the rediscovering of what it means to consume. To the patriarchy this comes of as disturbed and disgusting but only because the patriarchy views the world through distortions but the woman knows the truth by becoming one with nature proxy of the consumption of produce without which life simply cannot be. In the end she is transformed to the innocent girl, fresh like the produce from the farmer's market.

Hmm, I read it as a pretty hilarious reaction to the Women Laughing Alone With Salad trend. Pick up any women's magazine, and you might assume that every woman becomes hysterical with joy when eating fresh veggies and doing yoga - this just takes that idea to the next logical conclusion.

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of loved the video more after snooping around the actual website for the folks behind it, and seeing that they made a habit of the absurdist and privileged feel-goodisms of modern ladiness (cf.

Totally agree with susanvance; it didn't confuse me at all since I spend a lot of time rolling my eyes at all the advertising/media etc., depicting women becoming orgasmic over fat-free yogurt, breezing around buying vegetables and becoming orgasmic over their vegetabley aroma, greeting the sun with yoga, sort of orgasmically, and constantly hauling around flowers to symbolically prove that their hoohaw is nice and fresh, thank you very much. They also pretty much always wear those little sweaters.

tl;dw, imo - it's making fun of people who get off on farmer's markets. oh, you already said that. the "modern ladiness" thing.
there's also the absurd "surprise" (closer to a "rickroll") of what the "tricks of the trade on utilizing produce and avoiding waste" actually are.
The woman, no longer subjected by the patriarchy (here represented by the farmer's market)
why would the farmer's market represent patriarchy? i don't think that's demonstrated within the context of the film.
definitely nsfw, fwiw. it's not really safe for anywhere where someone could see over your shoulder, unless you're the sort of person for which most anything is sfw.
