- Decision
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My wife and I have chosen to bring up our children as vegetarians. In another time or place, we might have made a different decision. But the realities of our present moment compelled us to make that choice.
- Me

Every factory-farmed animal is, as a practice, treated in ways that would be illegal if it were a dog or a cat.
- Influence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We eat as sons and daughters, as families, as communities, as generations, as nations, and increasingly as a globe. We can't stop our eating from radiating influence even if we want to.
- Culture

We need a better way to talk about eating animals, a way that doesn't ignore or even just shruggingly accept things like habits, cravings, family and history but rather incorporates them into the conversation. The more they are allowed in, the more able we will be to follow our best instincts.
- Dog

It's hard to draw clear lines between writing and life and I don't think it is necessary to or necessarily good to.
- Greater
- |

- Explicitly
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.
- Made
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have made my own choice, which is vegetarianism, but it's not the choice I'm imposing on anybody else.
- Bad Stuff
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I see bad stuff on the street all the time that I don't do anything about. I do bad stuff myself all the time. The goal is not to somehow be perfect - that's silly, that's naive. The goal is to just recognize there are choices in front of us, and to try to make better ones.
