Part of living your life is an awareness of the opportunities that can be missed and an awareness that time moves in one direction.
We can't plead ignorance, only indifference. Those alive today are the generations that came to know better. We have the burden and the opportunity of living in the moment when the critique of factory farming broke into the popular consciousness.

One of the greatest opportunities to live our values-or betray them-lies in the food we put on our plates.
