1. The July Issue of “The Peaceable Table” Is
Now Online
Contents include:
- In the Glimpse of the Peaceable Kingdom, Oregon resident Mike Jivanjee poses
for a photo with his animal-companion goose Kyle, whom he rescued in
infancy, and who has taken his companion status very seriously ever since.
- A Letter by subscriber Lisa Adam questions the significance of feelings of
revulsion some vegans feel when they accidentally eat meat.
- The American Medical Association has announced that hospitals ought
to stop serving processed meats, and move in the direction of
plant-based meals.
- Thomas Tryon, an extraordinary English mystic of the seventeenth century, is
our Pioneer for July. Born into a working-class family, he taught
himself to read and write, prospered as a hatter, and wrote many books
promoting compassionate causes, including vegetarianism.
- This month's Recipe, Black Bean & Veggie Casserole, is really special, in
texture, taste, and healthfulness.
- Professor Pamela Hedrun Reviews The Animal's Agenda: Freedom,
Compassion, and Coexistence, by biologist Marc Bekoff and bioethicist
Jessica Pierce.On the basis of what biologists have learned about animals,
the authors give a morally devastating critique of the human use of animals
in agriculture, research, and other areas, including a rejection of the
totally inadequate "welfarist" approach to these enormities.
- Our Poetry selections are two super-brief, light-hearted poems by
G.K. Chesterton (on a snail) and Strickland Gilliland (on microbes).
Enjoy!
