"But should lovers of the
planet Earth assume that it is okay to distribute their products from one
corner of the earth to another? And should I assume that I have a
God-given right to access the entire earth's bounty, however far away some
of its produce is grown? Just because it was organically grown and
contained no additives, was this nationally distributed pumpkin product
any more benign than Nestle's Quick, Hi-C orange drink, or Betty Crocker's
pudding cake? As nutritionist Joan Gussow has reminded me, 'Organic does
not necessarily mean that the food was grown in an ecologically,
energetically, or socially sustainable way.' If you send it halfway around
the world before it s eaten, an organic good still may be "good" for the
consumer, but is it "good" for the food system?"
- "Coming Home to Eat" by Gary Paul Nabhan Gardening at home is one way to make good food that is good for the food system and for you! P. O. Box 7094 Olympia, WA 98501 (360)352-9096
