Jonathan Safran Foer Was Right About the Meat ThingS  A new USDA
survey finds that less than 1% of US farms are organic—meaning
that the carnivore locavore yuppie fantasy that it's okay to eat
meat as long as it comes from one of the few "good" farms is an
unsustainable argument, in the Kantian sense. There will never
be enough "good" farms to fulfill the demand for meat, so only
forsaking meat altogether is a viable, ethical, environmental
stance, in accord with the categorical imperative
(universalization formulation). Which, not for nothing, is
exactly what Jonathan Safran Foer says in his new book, so, we
know he's a precious twee Brooklyn writer and all, but give up
some props, along with that ham sandwich. Everyone knows you got
to stay off that pork.
