Here is oldest son's report:

Loaf of bread, cycle of manufacturing

Primary: farmer grows grain and sells to manufacturer

Secondary: factory throws away wheat from farmer, uses genetically altered wheat, makes bread, sells to store

Tertiary: grocery store buys bread, sells to customer

Primary again: farmer buys bread, savouring flavour of "home-grown" wheat.
