"The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That's not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food?

"You see, I heard the screams of my dying father as his body was ravaged by the cancer that killed him, and I realized I'd heard those screams before. In slaughterhouses, their eyes stabbed out and their tendons slashed, on cattle ships to the middle east, and the dying mother whale as a harpoon explodes in her brain as she calls out to her calf. Their cries were the cries of my father, and I discovered that when we suffer, we suffer as equals. In their capacity to suffer, a dog, is a pig, is a bear, is a boy."
-Philip Wollen
