After recently picking up the book Omnivore’s Dilemma, I
found myself sinking deeper into the rabbit hole of desire to pursue the
provenance of food.
In order to make
educated decisions in regards to consumption, we need to understand the
process. In searching for answers, I found myself more confused, realizing a
disconnect between my knowledge of food and the modern day reality of
industrial production. This disconnect has led me on a journey in the pursuit
of knowledge by returning to the roots, visiting organic and non-organic farms,
and exploring various preparation methods of food (whether traditional or
nouveau). I doubt that my writing will be influential enough to convince any of
you to quit your jobs in order to cultivate a self-sustainable landscape, but I
do hope that through my journeys, I myself and as well as you, can learn to
make more conscious choices in what you eat in regards to sustainability and
nutrition.
