Food

I’ve been thinking seriously over the last few years about the food I eat.  These thoughts have not necessarily had me completely change my eating behaviors but some of my eating practices have changed.  Much of this has been part of my desire to live with the Earth instead of simply on it.

Some things I have already begun to do is only purchase milk from a local dairy (complete with a returnable glass bottle), bread from a local bakery, local eggs and local beer.  One thing that I hope to begin doing is growing some of my own food.

I have several friends that garden and grow a significant proportion of their produce in their yards and community gardens.  Here they are able to take parts of land that would only be used for grass, something with purely aesthetic appeal, and use it to benefit themselves and the land.

A few upcoming revolutions in my life are to read this book.  Also, next year I plan on having one big revolution of starting a garden.  I’m going to snag a plot in a community garden (probably this one) and learn this fine art.
