I Care About Food.

Food is central to our lives. In terms of our daily activities, eating is second only to breathing. The decisions we make about what and how we choose to eat touch every aspect of our existence as individuals and as a globe, so it is important that we make these decisions consciously. This blog digests our daily food choices and asks: what do we eat? how is our food grown? where do we get it? what do we do with it? With the aim of understanding and acheiving sustainability, this blog is dedicated to looking at the array of effects our choices have through the lenses of ecology, socio-economics/politics, and personal identity to consider what we can eat, how our food can be grown, where we can get it, and what we can do with it.

Eat Your Greens, While You Can

Take a minute to check-out CAFF's Food Safety page. It has links to an article by Judith Redmond of Full Belly Farm, in which she outlines how this "Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement" could have unintended negative consequences and put an end to leafy greens grown by small, family farmers here in California. Also, take a minute to sign letters to the USDA, urging them not to adopt these potentially detrimental regulations nationwide. This legislation is a misguided quick-fix attempt to address what is really only the toenail of the 800-pound gorilla: industrial agriculture.
