• Cuando se cocinan alimentos tan vivos como éstos -frutos, hojas y carne, magníficos y semipreciosos- no se corre el riesgo de confundirlos con una mercancía, un combustible o un conjunto de nutrientes químicos. No, a los ojos del cocinero o del jardinero... este alimento se revela como lo que es: no una mera cosa, sino una red de relaciones entre un gran número de seres vivos, algunos de ellos humanos, otros no, pero cada uno de ellos dependiente de los demás, y todos ellos, en última instancia, enraizados en la tierra y alimentados por la luz del sol.

• In Joel's view, that reformation begins with people going o the trouble and expense of buying directly from farmers they know - "relationship marketing," as he calls it.

• A tension has always existed between the capitalist imperative to maximize efficiency at any cost and the moral imperatives of culture, which historically have served as a counterweight to the moral blindness of the market. This is another example of the cultural contradictions of capitalism - the tendency over time for the economic impulse to erode the moral underpinnings of society. Mercy toward the animals in our care is one such casualty.

No nos llevaría menos tiempo conducir hasta un establecimiento de comida rápida y pedir, sentarnos y llevarnos la mesa.
