Samaritan Blog: Eating Animals

Monday, November 2, 2009

I just finished reading the book Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Amazing

Disturbing

Enlightening

Listen to Jonathan Safran Foer on All Things Considered.

Read what Rabbi David Wolpe, Natalie Portman, CNN, NPR, The New Yorker, and GOOD Magazine have to say about this book.

The Word Right Now

"My aim is not - most definitely not - to argue that social problems could be solved if only more people performed more acts of kindness. Nor do I propose that we can dispense with most government on the faith that altruism will guide citizens to serve the public good. Rather, I aim to show that altruism is a powerful, centripetal force in everyday life."

-- Deborah Stone

I admire the Good Samaritan for picking up people on the side of the road, but I don't want to be the Good Samaritan. I want to fix the road to Jericho, so people don't get beat up there.

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. ~Leo Tolstoy
