I didn't want to hear about death. It was all anyone talked about, even when no one was actually talking about it.

The UN special envoy on food called it a 'crime against humanity' to funnel 100 million tons of grain and corn to ethanol when almost a billion people are starving. So what kind of crime is animal agriculture, which uses 756 million tons of grain and corn per year, much more than enough to adequately feed the 1.4 billion human who are living in dire poverty?

Her şey içime dokunurdu. Bir yabancının peşinden giden bir köpek. İçimi burkardı. Yanlış ayı gösteren bir takvim. Sırf bunun için ağlayabilirdim. Ağlamıştım da. Bacadan tüten dumanın bitişinde. Devrik bir şişenin masanın kenarında takılıp kalışında.
Hayatımı daha az duygulanmayı öğrenmeye harcadım.
Her gün daha az duygulandım.
Büyümek midir bu? Yoksa daha beter bir şey mi?
Kendini mutluluktan korumadan mutsuzluktan koruyamazsın.

Quizá no exista la "carne". En su lugar, existe este animal, criado en esta granja, sacrificado en esta planta, vendido de este modo y consumido por esta persona.

Grandfather interrogates me about you every day. He desires to know if you forgive him for the things he told you about the war, and about Herschel. (You could alter it, Jonathan. For him, not for me. Your novel is now verging on the war. It is possible.) He is not a bad person. He is a good person, alive in
a bad time. Do you remember when he said this?
Everything is the way it is because everything was the way it was. Sometimes I feel ensnared in this, as if no matter what I do, what will come has already been fixed. For me, OK, but there are things that I want for little Igor. There is so much violence around him, and I mean more than merely the kind that occurs with fists. I do not want him to feel violence anymore, but also I do not want him to one day make others feel violence.
I parrot: Grandfather is not a bad person, Jonathan. Everyone performs bad actions. I do. Father does. Even you do. A bad person is someone who does not lament his bad actions. Grandfather is now dying because of his. I beseech you to forgive us, and to make us better than we are. Make us good.

Comer animales, como el aborto, es uno de esos temas en los que es imposible saber de manera definitiva algunos de los detalles mas importantes. (¿Cuándo es un feto una persona real y no potencial? ¿Cómo es en verdad la experiencia animal?), lo cual remueve las desazones más profundas de uno y a menudo provoca actitudes defensivas o agresivas.

Jonathan Safran Foer
