Choice Quote by Jonathan Safran Foer
““Not making a decision —eating “like everyone else” —is to make the easiest decision, a decision that is increasingly problematic. Without question, in most places and in most times, to decide one’s diet by not deciding —to eat like everyone else —was probably a fine idea.””
