Eating animal1
1.
2. Grandmother’s food habits? His grandmother was a scavenger who invaded other people’s inedible: rotting potatoes, discarded scraps of meat, skins, and the bits that clung to bones and pits. She also made sandwiches with the saved ends of pumpernickel loaves.
3. What was Jonathan’s first experience with being vegetarian? How is he honest in the way he talks about food? Their babysitter kind of traumatized them, by telling him and Frank that she didn’t want to hurt chickens which began his vegetarianism that lasted only a few years.
4. Eating and storytelling: describe the connection. Eating and storytelling are inseparable. He tells of other connections such as those of that saltwater are also tears; that honey is not only sweet, but makes us think of sweetness; the matzo is the bread of our affliction. I believe that Jonathan is trying to tell us that the history of food has a major part in the way we tell stories and how much of food related topics are associated with a story that people share in a story. Greg, when I entered an Anthony Bourdain essay contest, that’s basically what I told Anthony (don’t know him) that without food, much of our stories would be very different. That food and stories have much in common.
5. What did Jonathan simply want to know? Give some examples. He simply wanted to know what meat is. Where food came from, how was it produced, how animals were treated, to what extent, and what are the social and environmental effects of eating animals?
6. How does he explain his research? Basically, he wanted to get a general idea and not just the details for his research. He explains his research as that of him just telling people that he was writing a book about eating animals and most people though that it was about vegetarianism, but his objective was to make an inquiry into animal agriculture that would lead one away from eating meat.
8. Who was George? What % of people has pets? George was a tiny clack puppy that he and his wife adopted off a curb. Sixty-three percent of Americans have pets.
9. What is the case for eating dogs? How many millions are euthanized? What about pigs? A case for eating dogs is a taboo.
10. How do we catch fish? How do we treat them? We catch fish with poles, lines, hooks, gaffs,
11. Discuss food choices and how it’s personal and the philosophical question that goes with it.
12. For every 10 tuna & sharks & others fish that lived a 100 years ago – how many are left now? Only one of every tuna, shark and other fish are now in existence.
