Document Summary
Ant 260- reading notes- vegetable miracle: a year of food life: a harvest implies planning, respect and effort. It"s the animals to which we"ve assigned some rights, while the saintly plants we main and behead with moral impunity: to believe we can live without taking life is delusional. Humans may only cultivate nonviolence in our diets by degree. Homo sapiens became the species we are by means of regular binges of carnivory. I don"t want to cause any creature misery so i wont knowingly eat anything that has stood belly deep in its own poop wishing it was dead until it died: all foods cost something. In mountainous us one of the best options for feeding ourselves and cities may be pasture-based hoof stock and poultry. In so many ways, disaster makes us take stock. For me it had inspired powerful cravings about living within our means.
