"We learn from pain that some of the things we thought were castles turn out to be prisons, and we desperately want out, but even though we built them, we can't find the door. Yet maybe if you ask God for help in knowing which direction to face, you'll have a moment of intuition. Maybe you'll see at least one next right step you can take."

Food choices are determined by many factors, but reason (even consciousness) is not generally high on the list."
Culture
"Memory was supposed to fill the time, but it made time a hole to be filled."
Reflection
"Kids are a great analogy. You want your kids to grow up, and you don't want your kids to grow up. You want your kids to become independent of you, but it's also a parent's worst nightmare: That they won't need you. It's like the real tragedy of parenting."
Parenting
"There are worse things, worse than being like us. Look, at least we're alive."
Gratitude
"Whether we change our lives or do nothing, we have responded. To do nothing is to do something."

"Needless to say, jamming deformed, drugged, overstressed birds together in a filthy, waste-coated room is not very healthy.

Ethics

Authenticity
"Rationally, factory farming is so obviously wrong, in so many ways. In all of my reading and conversations, I've yet to find a credible defense of it. But food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, and identity."
Culture
"Do you eat chicken because you are familiar with the scientific literature on them and have decided that their suffering doesn't matter, or do you do it because it tastes good?"
