people of faith engaging creation and justice
Nothing to do with food justice, but it’s good to see philosophy students and faculty putting both their bodies and their minds on the line for a worthy cause.
In Berlin I spent some time in the foyer to the Humboldt University, where there is a Cold War era mural with large-gold-lettering facing you as you enter the great hall. The quotation is famous, from Marx: “Up to now philosophers have simply interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”
At least they’re trying in Pakistan.
"philosophers" should be construed broadly!

This hearkens back to our old debates about the production of local jobs and tax income, but it provides some real data coming out of Pennsylvania.

Everyone has to “get the concept” of why it’s important to grow organic and buy local.
