When Love and Survival Meet at the Dinner Table

A grandmother's embrace tells a story beyond affection. Her hands, weathered by survival, secretly measure whether her grandson has eaten enough-a gesture born from starvation during the Holocaust, when she once refused pork even to save her life. "If nothing matters, there's nothing to save," she insisted, defining herself through what she wouldn't consume. Her simple chicken with carrots became legendary in the family not for its flavor but for what it represented: terror transformed into tenderness, deprivation into generosity. Food became their shared language, perhaps easier to speak than trauma itself. This same tension-between what we eat and who we are-confronts us each time we sit down to a meal. For years, vegetarianism came and went like a New Year's resolution. At nine, the revelation was simple: chicken is chicken. The commitment lasted until it didn't-through college, marriage, honeymoons, whenever convenience whispered louder than conscience. Then came the ultrasound image, the nursery preparations, the sudden weight of teaching someone else how to live. When his son emerged and immediately began nursing, that wordless hunger connected them across generations to every ancestor who ever fed a child. Feeding became more than nutrition-it became inheritance, the passing down of stories through what we choose to put on the plate. What began as research for his son's future became an investigation into something larger: where does meat actually come from, and what does our answer say about the world we're creating?
