"[Alicia Kennedy] recognizes that discussing food means discussing 'appetite and nostalgia', and that major changes to the way Americans eat won’t happen if those pressing for them refuse to take 'culture, gastronomy, and taste into consideration'. She also sees that creating ethical food systems requires attention to class: Food-industry laborers need fair pay and safe conditions, and healthy, varied ingredients need to be made available in all communities."
"Industrial meat is a major source of the emissions causing global warming. Eating it regularly, [#AliciaKennedy] argues, is unsustainable. Yet for many in the United States, meat has long represented security and prosperity; in the 1920s, Republicans promised voters 'a chicken for every pot'."
