Uncomfortable truths are more times than not just truths.
-If one is a capitalist in today’s world, then that person is morally unconscionable.
-If one turns a blind eye to evil and wrong-doing, then one is the problem and the cause of our destruction.
-Conventional economics is a form of brain damage- David Suzuki
-If someone defends an economy over all else then that person is a liar and a psychopath.
-Progress at any cost is not progress at all but a blind, slow, torturous and un-needed death.
-Consumption as a way of life is not life at all but death of all things.
-If the answer is always more then the question is rhetorical, meaningless and dangerously misleading.
-Human beings do not have technological, social, cultural or political problems. We have ethical problems.
I might have thought some of these statements were an exaggeration, but I am currently reading The Meat Racket: the secret takeover of America’s food business, by Christopher Leonard.
It’s the fascinating history of how the transparent workings of small family farms turned into the hidden factory behemoths we now have today… people have no idea where their food comes from, by design.
I agree. Over the years of reading and following the American food industry it is scary and unnerving what corporations are capable and willing to do to both people who rely upon them and the animals that they abuse.
