Chuck Palahniuk waxes eco-philosophical

"What we think of as nature, Oyster says, everything's just more of us killing the world. Every dandelion's a ticking atom bomb. Biological pollution. Pretty yellow devastation. The way you can go to Paris or Beijing, and everywhere there's a McDonald's hamburger, this is the ecological equivalent of franchised life-forms. Every place is the same place. Kudzu. Zebra mussels. Water hyacinths. Starlings. Burger Kings. The only biodiversity we're going to have left is Coke versus Pepsi." (From Lullaby.)
