Interesting article from http://food.theatlantic.com/sustainability/good-food-who-can-afford-it.php about sustainable eating adventures.


"But does everyone see it this way? Can everyone see it this way? As these refreshingly candid blog entries strongly suggest, a sustainable diet will never go mainstream if costs do not compete with cheap cafeteria crap."

I have found that eating locally is expensive and I can only afford it if I eat less overall. Eating local/organic/sustainable is almost impossible (especially in the winter) but I have made great progress through canning. L's soy sauce came out wonderfully and that is almost all locally produced ingredients (everything but the salt). I think if you can make soy sauce you can make anything. Growing food is hard but worth the effort. If only our local grocer would bring in more food from the W. valley and less from Argentina.
