Crowther, Bourdain, Pollan, Conklin, Foer

  1. Interpretation / Claim:
    I believe Mr. Foer, perhaps unintentionally makes a claim that vegetarianism is a higher form of living to aspire toward.
  2. Question: “Why?” In context, Foer closes with the recollection of his desperate and starving grandmother refusing to eat pork offered from a local farmer at her darkest hour. Why? It wasn’t kosher. “If nothing matters there’s nothing left to save”.
