Coming Home to Eat





I did not quite make it to Crater Lake this weekend as stated in by last blog, but definitely next weekend for sure! I wanted to write a little about the book Coming Home to Eat on the first 75 pages I have read. I think this book is an interesting one so far. Nabhan talks about how many foods these days are processed in cans and it travels long distances before reaching our mouths. The comments he makes in the book about processed foods make you think a little before you take that next bite. Where did it come from? Is it fresh? No one realizes what they are putting into their mouths when eating. In my opinion, lots of people would like to eat healthier, but just don't have the time and energy to do it. So, they go with the quickest and the healthiest they can get fast. As in the book so far, who is going to take the time to make a vegetable garden? Maybe, when retired? As for me, I try to eat healthy, but find myself getting that quick bite or going out to eat because either I don't have time or I don't want to take the time to do it.
