Longer Tables, Not Higher Walls
A meal is never just a plate of food. It has the power to change the world, to bring people together, to tell the story of who we are and where we’re going.
That’s why I started talking about longer tables when others wanted to build higher walls. We need to talk to each other, to enjoy our differences, to celebrate our diversity … not to push people away because they look or sound different.
Our challenges may be complicated, but the solutions are sometimes very simple.
Longer Tables is my way of saying that we are not Democrats or Republicans, Americans or immigrants, meat eaters or vegans.
