A free online game by Persuasive Games, this byte-size morsel of edutainment is a cautionary tale in the guise of mindless, time-sucking fun. Your mission, if you choose to harvest it, is to squeeze as much profit out of mass amounts of cheap tomatoes and spinach.

While building large industrial farming complexes may send the cash registers cranking into overdrive, you also run the increased risk of floods, animal-waste pollution, and life-threatening E. coli. But will you be content with the pennies you'll scrape by with your small family farm? Decisions, decisions. ::Bacteria Salad

Well, I must say I can see the positive spirit of the game but I'm still looking for a good game to play and quite frankly : there's nothing to be happy with here.
