Eat Well

My friend Patrick posted a nice summary on eating today. He includes some information about why most of what you buy today in the supermarket is not fit for consumption and where you can find better alternatives.

I loved reading this post, as it echoes the sentiments in our home. We try our best to purchase food that is grown as local as possible, and in season. This means two things: 1) we spend a lot of money on groceries (as Patrick mentions, quality costs more) and 2) we don’t get to eat banana’s [insert any other tropical fruit here] all year long. In my mind, the most important aspect of food is that it should be as close to the state it was created when you eat it.

The age where convenience is the top priority is ending — it simply has to. And that will at times mean going without (not having everything readily available 365 days a year) and that we work harder to get what we need (grow it ourselves).
