Beautiful Flaws
Posted by Ms. Kathy on June 6, 2007
I like the picture (above) by Charles Sheeler of a pair of homely silos glorified as temples; places of worship. It reminds me that the foundation of civilization is a stable food source that allows human beings the freedom to move up Maslow’s pyramid of needs.
In 1980 I read a book called Diet for a Small Planet, by Frances Moore Lappe’ that changed the way I think about food and other things. The book advocates that a meatless diet is a more efficient way for more humans on this planet to get the protein they need to live healthy, productive lives. The ideal of the perfect meal that I grew up with was a meat-centered meal with vegetables and breads as complements to the meat. Diet for a Small Planet paved the way for me to see that there are other ways of living and other ways looking at things.
