The business model of the food industry is organized around “adding value” to cheap raw materials; its genius has been to figure out how to break these two big seeds down into their chemical building blocks and then reassemble them in myriad packaged food products.

the martyrs were known for their faithfulness to God over Caesar. One of the early Christians said that every time a Christian proclaimed, “Jesus is Lord,” they were saying, “Caesar is not.” The early Christians were known to be rebels and revolutionaries, albeit in a very different kind of revolution, a revolution that was as much for the freedom of the oppressors as for the freedom of the oppressed, a nonviolent revolution marked by enemy-love, gentleness, and audacious grace. But it was a revolution nonetheless. “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here. . . . They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus” (Acts 17:6–7). We see this holy mischief all the way through the Bible, even to the book of Revelation, where John, the writer of Revelation, gets exiled.
