A Disconnect… Leading to the Provenance of Food


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.
