Where food comes from and why.

[Guest guest]

"We can not live harmlessly at our own expense; we depend on other

creatures and survive by their deaths. To live, we must daily break the

body and shed the blood of Creation. The point is, when we do this

knowingly, lovingly, skillfully, reverently, it is a sacrament; when

we do it ignorantly, greedily, clumsily, destructively, it is a

desecration. .. in such desecration, we condemn ourselves to spiritual

and moral loneliness, and others to want." Wendell Berry

"Long before the instutioinstitutionalizedns came along - and temples and

churches - there was an unquestioned recognition that what goes on in

the kitchen is holy...Do we not hallow places by our very commitment to

them? When we turn our home into a place that nourishes and heals and

contents, we are meeting directly all the hungers that a consumer

society exacerbates and never satisfies." Carol Flinders
