Watch What You Eat….If You Can
By adam || July 14, 2007As part of a recent obsession I’ve developed with wanting to know when fruits and vegetables are “in-season” so I can be eating fresher produce, I’m apparently noticing more and more food news. So when I read that 92% of Americans support measures to label food products with their country of origin, I assumed this would be a slam dunk. Right? 92%? That’s a good majority, and that ought to buy you something in a democracy, right? We’ll see about that.In the meantime, our reading assignment is Michael Pollan’s book The Omnivore’s Dilemma. It’s a fascinating treatise that exposes some nuance in the history of American food, and even sheds some important light on current “organic” food business.At the end of the day, we just think we all ought to know exactly what we’re putting in our mouths. Deliciousness can no longer be our only criteria.
