I've come to believe, or at least be more aware, that knowing where the food on my plate comes from contributes a great deal to the extent to which I can enjoy a meal. It is especially satisfying that when I pick up the produce from the farm the leaves haven't even wilted yet because it was plucked from the Earth only minutes before.
If you haven't read In Defense of Food, I hereby recommend it. If you can't make it through the first two "sections", as they are a bit tedious, AT LEAST read the last 60 pages. I know that people in this camp have a reputation for being a bit nutty, but don't let that keep you away.
If you are like me, you are worried that reading the book will motivate you to change, but not enough to ACTUALLY initiate change, thereby just making you feel guilty because you haven't changed.
Try it anyway.

Looks absolutely wonderful! Do you just get local corn from Pauls or Winco or do you go somewhere? I love corn on the cob but like young ears and think I need to go somewhere besides a grocery store to get it. I used to see farm trucks on the side of roads selling their corn and they were not only a great price but delicious. I don't see that much anymore.
looks yummy! I agree with you on knowing that is was just picked or what was fed to the animals and such.
i would love to know where you went to get your delish food:) was it more expensive than a store or about the same?? I love corn on the cob...yumyum:)
