I see a new generation returning to GOD’s creation- working with it- cultivating it instead of abusing it. Of all the things in the world, I feel the most hopeful when I see these ‘greenhorns’ marching across fields with seeds of tomorrow in hand…

I believe one ethical way forward is to reboot our relationship with our food. Besides growing one’s own food, an ethical consumer can limit their consumption to their local region. Buy local produce during the harvest seasons, learn to can some food, dry some food, freeze other food.

I recently headed out to a sold-out showing of the documentary Food, Inc. at Austin’s own Alamo Drafthouse. Generally, getting dinner and drinks along with my movie is my favorite “night out” activity, but in watching a film which critically examines our industrial food system, it was a bit strange.

What is our food culture as a whole in this country?
