That's a hard call. Obviously, it's black humor, but it's not exactly funny enough to make a clear point. Are we laughing at political correctness, people's ability to fool themselves, or is it just a rather pointless & offensive easy dig at who knows what? I suppose the point is the one you make--that free-range, humane, organic methods are just a sop to the conscience--but it seems a rather overdone way to make it, i.e., more of a bludgeon than a stiletto, and a bit too gratuitously offensive for the issue at hand. If you're going to make a Nazi joke, you really need to make sure it's properly scaled, and it also helps if it's actually funny.
