Rethinking Eating


Watch Food Inc. Full Movie Trailer Online - High Quality - Watch more Funny Videos

This weekend I watched Food Inc. I'd already read Omnivore's Dilemma and Fast Food Nation, so what I saw wasn't new to me. But it reinvigorated me to work on how I buy and grow food. Everyone should see this movie, as it talks about the way food gets to our supermarkets and what we are actually eating.

For 2010, I plan to eat more locally, reduce my intake of processed foods, and grow more of my own food. I've already found local sources of free range chicken and pork, which come to the Charleston Farmer's Market. I also just found a great website: http://www.localharvest.org/, where anyone can look up local farms and handmade items near their homes.

I'm looking forward to planning and planting the garden this year. Last year, we were successful with tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, basil, and cilantro, but our yard has the potential for so much more with a side garden and container gardening.
