Food

The array of choices can be overwhelming.


Fish from Thailand, berries from Mexico, peaches from Georgia. We live in the middle of a food-web that I feel estranged from. Estranged from my food. Where does it come from, who handles it, how much gas does it cost to get it to me, how is the farm labor treated, what would life be like without the global network that makes it way into my local grocery store?

Whatever happened to seasonal, local food? Whatever happened to food-simplicity?
