Where Does Your Meat Come From?

While it's a long article, keep reading.  This is not one of those reports where you can read the first paragraph and know the whole picture.  There's a lot of information in here, some you may not have realized before.  Or you probably thought it wasn't a pretty picture, but didn't realize how ugly it really was.  If you already buy your meat locally, you'll find yourself giving yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.  If you typically buy "the stuff at the store," you may never really know where your meat is coming from.  Please, share where you get your meat if you buy local.

After It's Cooked, It Still Goes to Waste!

You know you've done it.  You've prepared such a delicious meal from your good food.  You congratulate yourself since you've made good use of all that food.  After a couple weeks, you take a look in the fridge and, a few obscenities later, throw it in the trash (or compost heap hopefully).  Food has gone to waste.  Learn ways to reduce food waste, cooked or uncooked.

Fresh (the movie) Screening Oct 26th

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.

After you've seen it, come back and tell us what you thought!
