The Food on This Table
Thursday, November 26th, 2009
THIS THANKSGIVING, like every other day, we should keep in mind the agricultural system that brings food to our tables. It is a system of people, after all. Let us give thanks to the low-wage workers, many of them immigrant and refugee, who make it possible to have such feasts.
Gratitude is Real. Fable is Still Fable. Truth is Love. Set the Table.

ULTIMATELY, who benefits from these well-practiced fables? Who makes gain from the false lessons instilled? Who are the myths of Thanksgiving designed to benefit? What are the truths they are meant to obscure?
Stolen Not Given

THANKSGIVING is probably the most popular and earliest-given justification for invasion, murder, imperialism, occupation, and “othering” that we know of in this country. Even now in Iraq we hear fables fashioned on the same colonizer’s framework and it sickens. But Thanksgiving is Iraq, with its steaming platter of corpses. Iraq is Thanksgiving.
