"...avoid thinking about the whole unpleasant thing"

Our summer of food has been quite lovely so far. Interesting books, assorted conversation topics, farmers’ market visits, and delicious food.
We, like most, have avoided the darker side of where our food comes from. With only one true vegetarian among us, we have steered away from discussing our moral positions (if we have them) about animal products.
I’ve included a link to a thought provoking article by David Foster Wallace written for Gourmet Magazine in 2003…”Consider the Lobster.”
