It all seems so familiar and yet it’s not at all the same. I recently made the decision to go all out vegan. All right, I’m on the path to getting there. At the very least, I am much better equipped than the last time I had a go at this — and fortunately, so is the world.
People sit down to eat lunch and it’s really not anything of consequence. Most people don’t notice when people sit down in diners, restaurants, etcetera as it is so commonplace. One would therefore think that it would not have been a big to-do when David Leinhail Richmond, Joseph Alfred McNeil, Franklin Eugene McCain, and Ezell A. Blair Jr. sat down in a Greensboro Woolworth’s to eat lunch. This was not the case, of course — it was 1960 and the segregation ran rampant in these United States — clearly not so united at the time.

America built its reputation in the world by being fresh-faced, fertile, undiscovered and undeveloped.
We fed ourselves first and then we

There was a time — in the pre-industrial Age — when families would raise their own crops, hunt their own food and feed their own families. You canned food for the winter.
