Thanksgiving wishes

It's been a difficult and busy week so I'm late with my intended Thanksgiving post, but I've been wanting to share this beautiful, touching and thoughtful essay...

There is still strong in our society the belief

that animals and the natural world have value

only insofar as they can be converted into revenue.

That nature is a commodity.

And that the American dream is one of unlimited consumption.

There are many of us, on the other hand,

who believe that animals and the natural world

have value by virtue of being alive.

That Nature is a community to which we belong

and to which we owe our lives.

And that the deeper American dream is one of unlimited compassion.

~John Robbins, "The Food Revolution"
