The June Peaceable Table is now online

[Richard Ellwood]

In this issue:

• The Editor's Corner Guest Essay tells the appealing story of the rescue of an injured rooster, and in the process tells much about love in unlikely places, and the true cost of hen's eggs as food.
• Philaret of Moscow, a nineteenth-century Orthodox Christian, reminds us in an Unset Gem that the walls we build on earth do not reach to heaven.
• Another rooster story is sketched in a NewsNote about a recent raid on a huge cockfighting training plant in Massachusetts.
• Robert Ellwood Reviews a short new book entitled Burger by seasoned activist Carol J. Adams that has much information both old and new for readers about the history of this iconic US-American sandwich.  She treats of the unseen perils and evils behind and within it, and the promising development of plant-based and clean-meat burgers now in the works.
• The June Pioneer is Geoffrey Hodson, a Theosophist, visionary, author and speaker who was not only vegetarian for the last fifty years of his long life, but promoted the practice as president of the New
• Zealand Vegetarian Society and in a number of his writings.
• Try out the Recipe for Angie Cordeiro's Green Smoothie.  It's easy to make, tasty, and a nutritional powerhouse.
• Christina Rossetti's short Poem "Lord, purge our eyes to see . . ." powerfully conveys the message of what eggs--and seeds and cocoons--are really for.  And it's not a human breakfast.
