A Food Writer on the Soup Line
June 1st, 2010 admin
Unemployed food writer Ed Murrieta tells an ironic, deeply felt tale in the Seattle Times ‘ Sunday magazine . A couple of years ago, he carried a credit card given to him for his $1,300 a month in expenses as a food critic for the Tacoma News Tribun e. In its place, he now carries a card given to him by the government so he can eat. He visits food banks (where he also volunteers) and works hard to stretch his food and yet still (mostly) satisfy his sophisticated—but far from picky—palate. “As a professional assignment, writing about a thing such as shopping and eating on a budget is abstract,” he writes. “As a gut-punching, ego-bruising, bank-busting predicament, eating on the food lines is real.

Pavone saying that "One of the things we do when we give a homily on abortion is to fulfill St Paul's exhortation in Ephesians 5 where he says, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless works of darkness but rather expose them." We expose abortion, for example, as we have already discussed, by showing how unsafe it is, how unregulated the abortion industry is, and how much harm it does to women. We also expose it by using one of the phrases that by research has proven to be one of the most effective for people, and that is that "abortion stops a beating heart."" In order to "counteract the notion that the choice has no effect except to solve a problem and to answer the question that so often remains unanswered "the choice of what?", Fr. Pavone will include the following in his homily: "Here is the choice, that today in America 4000 children are living and growing in their mothers' wombs, their hearts are beating, and tomorrow they are scheduled to be killed.
