What's the next step? Growing some of your own food!?
I'm big into planting heirloom varieties in my garden, and finding those varieties can be tricky - especially if you're someone who might grab a veggie plant at Home Depot. Check out my blog to find more information on where you can go in the Twin Cities to find them.

I totally agree with all of your comments, Lee. I've gone through a similar conversion myself in the past few years. I had read My Year Of Meats and Fast Food Nation a while back, but it was when I read Omnivores Dilemma & Animal Veg Miracle that marked a turning point for me to actually change my eating habits.
So our family joined Harmony Valley's CSA for the first time last year, and we just joined a meat CSA this month. Walking the talk, right?? I'm shopping more and more at local co-ops and thinking more about the impact of my food choices.
It's pretty exciting to feel connected with your food! I know what you mean about wanting to evangelize. I started a blog recently too, greenyourplate.blogspot.com, because I wanted to tell people about how a person goes about making these food changes, in a practical sense. We're kind of figuring this out as we go, but the kitchen experiments are certainly fun.
Anyway, keep up the crazy food talk, I enjoy reading your blog!
Thanks KristenM, and thanks again for Fight Back Friday's. I can't wait to get home tonight and make that creme fraiche, peanut butter, and honey treat.

Great idea for a post, Lee. Even our beer can be sustainable! (Wish I had some suggestions, but I'm not the beer drinker in my house.)
Thanks for submitting this to Fight Back Fridays.
Cheers,

Thank you for the excellent, thoughtful comment. I agree completely. I also think it's hard to separate the knowledge of where the food came from, and how thoughtfully it was grown or prepared. Make better food even better.
