This weekend's Ethics of Eating on the Speaking of Faith show had one of my favorite authors, Barbara Kingsolver. While living in wonderful circumstances, she was able to spend a year with her family eating what they grew. If they couldn't grow it they would try to find it in local farmer's markets or grown by neighbors.
The feeling I got from the show is that their experiment indirectly would get a broader audience thinking about our own lives. It is time to notice some of these decisions that we make on almost a daily basis, what to eat, where to purchase it, how best to support the earth through our decisions.
No one wants the farm worker and his family in Chile to be breathing in clouds of pesticides, so we can have strawberries in January. We can wait for strawberry season at home, no?
