So this morning I did 20 minutes of power yoga with Rodney Yee (LOVE the Yee), plus a 40-minute walk with Mary B (love the B as well, but she's not available in convenient DVD form yet). (Am working on a bad rap song with "The T to The G with The Yee and The B...." Yeah, not so much.) So SWEET, I'm set for the day -- can eat 4 or, let's face it, 6 scones (King Arthur Flour cranberry orange -- fresh out the oven, oh yeah) and have a glass (+?) of wine while watching the Project Runway final finale tonight. Did I mention SWEET? Thank God I'm not too busy at work.
So Mary B was telling me about this great documentary, Food, Inc. that she watched last night. I looked it up and it's by the author of Fast Food Nation. Now Mary and I have had these chats before, and the more I find out, the more I really hate what large corporations have done to our food in this country in the last 50 years or so. I've finally gotten to the point where I only shop the outside of the supermarket, and think that I'm really going to have to bite the bullet and only buy organic or local from now on. I think you will too if you watch this video. Mary said that she plans to expand her garden after watching the movie, and I'm sure I will too. (I've actually still got food in my backyard to harvest -- will be using spinach and fennel from my garden this weekend. Wish me luck.)
ANYhoo, here's the video trailer for Food, Inc., in case you're interested.
Mary J. and I watched this one night, too. It has a serious impact. No doubt about it. Maybe we need to coordinate our gardening efforts - e.g., I grow LOTS of beets, someone else does tomatoes, etc. and then we all share.
ReplyDeleteBTW - go pick shit out of my garden while I'm gone! Go. Do. It.
Sadly, I have not yet been able to grow LOTS of anything. I was VERY pleased this morning to see that I've got BEANS growing in my garden -- not just the bean plant, but actual beans on the plant. About six. So I guess it will be a smallish bean salad.
