Past Is Prologue
A famous line from Shakespeare’s The Tempest — “What’s past is prologue, what to come in yours and my discharge” — is apt for the turning of the year. We tend to look back at what happened in the past, and forward to what we hope to make of the future.
Erik Marcus, the vegan activist and author behind the Vegan.com blog, has done a bang-up job of looking back at “The Year in Meat: 2009”—and giving hope for a more compassionate future. As Marcus writes, “Reading this article is likely the best way to quickly get up to speed on everything that’s happened in 2009 related to animal agribusiness and vegetarianism. I think this piece makes clear that, amazingly enough, the animal protection movement is actually moving us somewhere; and quickly.”
