Ladies and Gentle-Readers, I would like to share with you a "poem" or "thought" from Wendell Berry, which I read in Michael Pollan's "In Defense Of Food."
"Eating with the fullest pleasure - pleasure, that is,
that does not depend on ignorance - is perhaps the
profoundest enactment of our connection with the
world. In this pleasure we experience and celebrate
our dependence and our gratitude, for we are living
from mystery, from creatures we did not make and
powers we cannot comprehend."
With the emphasis on a connection with the world, I would like to ask you about your experiences and efforts, thoughts and feelings in regards to eating locally. Have you tried it? What did you think? Do you want to make a change? Etc. I would feel more purpose and connection knowing where my readers are in regards to the idea incorporating local food. Please feel free to email me or comment. It would be lovely, and very much appreciated.
