  • say it right

    I would like to share three quotes that sum up what I believe about the general public and America's industrial-food culture (sorry if they seem out of context):

    "Eating puts us in touch with all that we share with other animals [and plants], and all that sets us apart. It's what defines us."

    "To eat with a fuller consciousness of all that is at stake might sound like a burden, but in practice few things in life can afford quite as much satisfaction."

    and finally,

    "Eating industrial meat [and other industrial produce/products] takes an almost heroic act of not knowing, or, [eventually] forgetting."
