the way we eat

I have always admired Jamie Oliver for his contributions, showing how easy it is to cook using fresh ingredients. One does not have to possess a culinary degree to eat healthy. For years we have been heading down the wrong path of nutrition and how our food is grown and processed. I hope he has as much success here as he did in England with his mission to get families to eat better. If even a small percentage of people changed their habits it would send a huge message to the large food corporations who only care about how much money they can make, and feed our addictions with simple sugars, and processed foods


I eat what I want, but try to buy local as much as possible. Just doing that creates a chain reaction of positive events. I support local businesses, there is less fuel used, due to low transportation costs. I know where my food comes from. There is less risk of disease and cross contamination. I know the vendors personally, and I participate in what is becoming a growing trend, getting back to basics. I grow my own vegetables, harvest my own eggs. It is very rewarding to live this way, the way it is intended to be (at least in my view)
