"Meat comes from the grocery store, where it is cut and packaged to look as little like parts of animals as possible."
This quote was interesting because I remember Robert Kuhl saying something similar about corn, about how we only buy things that are aesthetically appealing and if they aren't, we don't buy them. Why is that? Why do we care so much that our food looks perfect?
That in itself can be an essay topic, exploring why people like things that look perfect rather than taste better, or buy things that were sprayed with chemicals to be preserved rather than something local even if it's not pretty. It works especially here in San Diego, where it seems a lot of our food and water supplies are imported from elsewhere.
