We cannot defend indifference and ignorance. The next generations know more and more about this industry. We live in a time when a critical approach to industrial farming has become part of collective consciousness. They will ask us: how you reacted when you learned the truth about eating animals.
Jonathan Safran Foer, in his book "Eating Animals," emphasizes the moral obligation to confront the realities of industrial farming. He argues that indifference and ignorance are not defensible positions, especially as society becomes more aware of the ethical issues surrounding animal consumption. The younger generations are increasingly educated about these practices and will hold the previous generations accountable for their actions.
The author suggests that as awareness grows, people will question how we've responded to the truth about animal agriculture. Foer urges readers to adopt a critical mindset regarding their food choices, recognizing that understanding the implications of eating animals is now an essential part of our collective consciousness. This ongoing dialogue challenges individuals to reflect on their choices and their impact on future generations.
