The agony of the rat or the slaughter of a calf remains present in thought not through pity but as the zone of exchange between man and animal in which something of one passes into the other. - Deleuze and Guattari, What Is Philosophy?

Opposition to Localvorism
The new issues of the Journal of Critical Animal Studies is out. The whole thing is worth reading, but I want to suggest reading the article "'Green' Eggs and Ham?" (pdf). The article is written by Vasile Stanescu (full disclosure, we're brothers), and is rigorous examination of the politics and principles of the localvore movement. Moreover, it is also something of an expose of the secret conservative nature of the intellectual founders of localvorism. I highly suggest this for anyone interested in localvorism, vegetarianism and veganism, and current food issues.
