This young man is eleven years old. Yet he says such wise things! Things like, “It seems to me that we can either pay the farmer or pay the hospital.” And “A while back, I wanted to be an NFL football player. I decided that I’d rather be an organic farmer instead.” (To which, of course, the audience erupted in spontaneous and thunderous applause.)
Isn’t this what you’d wish for in your children — the ability to be poised, the desire to seek justice in the food system, and an ability to think rightly and humbly about what our food choices mean?
