Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 I've really been enjoying a book called Coming Home to Eat: The Pleasure and Politics of Local Foods. It's written by Nabhan who spent one year trying to eat only food grown, caught, or collected within 200 miles of his home in Arizona. He has wonderful accounts of collecting and preparing traditional food collected in the desert, and reflects much on eating locally and preserving genetic diversity in plants. I was in the middle of this book last weekend when I was at the grocery store purchasing an organic tomato, and the checkout clerk boasted that the tomato was grown in Israel. I can only imagine that I had a look of horror on my face. I had just assumed it was from California and hadn't traveled nearly so many miles. -Linnea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
