…imagine for a moment if we once again knew, strictly as a matter of course, these few unremarkable things: What it is we’re eating. Where it came from. How it found its way to our table. And what, in a true accounting, it really cost. We could then talk about some other things at dinner. For we would no longer need any reminding that however we choose to feed ourselves, we eat by the grace of nature, not industry, and what we’re eating is never anything more or less than the body of the world.
- Michael Pollan, excerpt from The Omnivore’s Dilemma
As my month long experience draws to a close, and I consider the fate of my eating habits and the fate of this blog, I find that I cannot say it better than Mr. Pollan.
