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.
