Animal Vegetable Miracle

Currently I am on Winter break from school and in the process of catching up on food related books and articles. I want to share a quote from Barbara Kingsolver's book: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. She writes about how it is hypocritical for parents to instruct their children to have patience and restraint for life's desires and they should wait until the right time, while when the parents have a craving for out of season produce they must have it now.

"We're raising our children on the definition of promiscuity if we feed them a casual, indiscriminate mingling of foods from every season plucked from the supermarket, ignoring how our sustenance is cheapened by wholesale desires." - Barbara Kingsolver


I feel that this quote fits snugly with our misguided American way of life. We as American's always receive what we want, when we want it, without taking into consideration the effects of greed.

Michael Pollan

Here are some videos of a wonderful interview of Michael Pollan by Bill Moyers on PBS. Michael Pollan is a inspiring individual of mine. He has written many books on the subject of our food culture in the United States.

The Voice

In the current issue of The Washtenaw Community College's student run newspaper called The Voice. I am honored to say I had an article wrote about me by the Editor Colin Fraser. I haven't read the article yet, not because it is a bad artcle, its just that I am much to embarrassed to read it.
