Read this excerpt from The Grapes of Wrath:
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation.
There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize.
There is a failure here that topples all our success. The
fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and
the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die
because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And
coroners must fill in the certificates-died of malnutrition-
because the food must rot, must be forced to rot.
