Food people eat

As this is Farmworker Awareness Week, I would hope that either during or after some of the more prominent people who speak out about many social issues would give some time to speak about it.

Speaking up about it does not equal having to be all guilty for being privileged.

It's having a connection with the people who pick the food you eat all the time.

Unless you have your own small working farm which you personally run and harvest, you do eat the food they pick all the time.

I believe that this is going to be more and more acknowledged as time goes on.

And actually, seeing people reluctant to speak about it makes it seem more like people are uncomfortable and feeling kind of guilty. Is it useful to feel that way? Does it help? It doesn't seem to help much at all. It just allows things to keep on being as bad as they are.

So maybe I hope people will meditate, free themselves of guilt or discomfort and in their hearts feel compelled to care and share and openly see the people who are working very hard to bring us food.
