"Michael Pollan likens consumer choices to pulling single threads
out of a garment. We pull a thread from the garment when we refuse
to purchase eggs or meat from birds who were raised in confinement,
whose beaks were clipped so they could never once taste their
natural diet of worms and insects. We pull out a thread when we
refuse to bring home a hormone-fattened turkey for Thanksgiving
dinner. We pull a thread when we refuse to buy meat or dairy
products from cows who were never allowed to chew grass, or breathe
fresh air, or feel the warm sun on their backs."
