Book Fair

Greg Hickman, Clairissa Anderson, and I read the book Eat Where You Live, which explains how to find local food, as well as store it and enjoy it!

During the bookfair I was reminded just how many harmful things, or things that we don't know how they will effect us, are put in our food. Antibiotics in food are making us sicker, and immune to them when we need them in times of illness. Steroids are changing the shape of the human form. Even organic-labeled foods often come with a hefty pricetag for the environment- hundreds, or even thousands, of miles burning fossil fuels. These concerns underline the manifesto of the slow food movement- to know where your food comes from and to involve yourself in the process of making it.
