Quote by Laura Urcelay

“Quería que la incineraran y que la echaran allí arriba. Sabía que nadie subiría con frecuencia y eso era lo que buscaba: que la sacudieran pronto, que su recuerdo no se convirtiera en una excusa lamentable para dar sentido a la existencia de los vivos".”

Our food system depends on consumers’ not knowing much about it beyond the price disclosed by the checkout scanner. Cheapness and ignorance are mutually reinforcing.”
