It will never be the case that people won't eat meat. i think it could conceivably be the case one day that people eat very small amounts of it. that it's a special thing, rather than reach for it because it's cheap or reach for it because it's convenient, that it becomes something festive or something celebratory, once a week, and that could actually be achieved on small farms if we really changed our habits.

It Will Never Be The Case That

Jonathan Safran Foer

It will never be the case that people won't eat meat. i think it could conceivably be the case one day that people eat very small amounts of it. that it's a special thing, rather than reach for it because it's cheap or reach for it because it's convenient, that it becomes something festive or something celebratory, once a week, and that could actually be achieved on small farms if we really changed our habits.

I'm a vegetarian. you're a what? i don't eat meat. how can you not eat meat? i just don't. he says he does not eat meat. what? no meat? no meat. steak? no... chickens! no... and what about the sausage? no, no sausage, no meat! he says he does not eat any meat. not even sausage? i know! what is wrong with him? what is wrong with you? nothing, i just don't eat meat!

I'm close to being a vegan, but i'm not one, technically. i don't eat eggs, or nearly any dairy - no cheese or milk. i do eat honey, and a piece of milk chocolate here and there. it's never really been that hard for me. i've never had any desire to eat meat. in fact, when i was a kid i would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. it had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that. i don't judge people who eat meat - that's not for me to say - but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.

Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

"yeah, well, if you eat red meat, it stays in your colon for fifteen years!" good! i paid for it; i want it in my ass, okay? i want them to find a meat sweater from my esophagus to my asshole when they open me up in the end! "this guy's covered in meat! he's meat-man! he's meat-tracheotomy-man!"

We are entering a hyperconnected world where every boss now has more access, cheap access to cheap labor, cheap genius, cheap robot, cheap software, and then this world averages over. there is only one answer to that, and that is to get everyone as close as possible to some form of post-secondary education, it could be vocational, it can be liberal arts, it can be science and technology.

I do not prize the word cheap. it is not a word of inspiration. it is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country.

A fine genius in his own country is like gold in the mine.

He wanted to care, and he could not care. for he had gone away and he could never go back anymore. the gates were closed, the sun was down, and there was no beauty left but the gray beauty of steel that withstands all time. even the grief he could have borne was left behind in the country of youth, of illusion, of the richness of life, where his winter dreams had flourished.

I understood that these trade agreements were going to destroy the middle class of this country. i led the fight against us. that is one of the major differences that we have.
