My Friend Liz (@hyperlocavore), posted this very cool video on facebook earlier today. Well worth the time, it is also entertaining and, most likely, eye opening for many city dwellers. Enjoy! More details at http://cookingupastory.com/novella-carpenter-e-interview … Continue reading
On Wednesday, at a town hall meeting in Chickasha, Oklahoma, Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.) told his audience that he was not going to read America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (H.R.3200): “I don’t have to read it, or know what’s in it. I’m going to oppose it anyways.”
“I don’t have to read it, or know what’s in it”? Yes, Senator, you have to know… Continue reading
This is in response to a recently published article “Who Owns Good Food” by Zachary Adam Cohen on the Huffington Post. Being too lengthy, this comment exceeded the 250 word limitation of the blog, hence this post.
Nothing can be accomplished in the effort to reshape our food system from a broken, misdirected trajectory to a sustainable triple bottom line system, without shedding old… Continue reading
Movie Review by Flo Martin
The title says it all: the couple in the film is composed of Julie, a New Yorker who turns thirty, and lives with her husband Eric in Queens over a pizzeria, and Julia, sixty years her senior, who experienced post World War II Paris and its delights (however, we never see the grunginess of the Paris of the time that is so vivid in… Continue reading
If you live in the United States, you probably know someone, or of someone, in a similar situation. Reforming health care is not about socialism, not about bigger government or even about freedom; it’s about having access to health care whatever your means may be. No health care system is perfect; not even in other industrialized countries where access to medical care is a right; but in no industrialized country is… Continue reading
My friend Zachary, of Farm to Table, sent me this very cool video. I just HAD to share it with you all 
A Farm Grows in Brooklyn…on a Rooftop! from SkeeterNYC on Vimeo
YES, I am a city boy, born and raised in the great city of Paris, France… actually, that’s not all of it… I was also raised in Northern France, eight miles away from the Belgian border, in the French Ardennes, where my mother’s parents showed me what it was like to live way back when… I spent my first sixteen summers in a small village of no more than two… Continue reading
The filmic narrative of Fresh, punctuated by interviews with author Michael Pollan, delivers a carefully crafted didactic message: the industrial agro-business as we know it, replete as it is with noxious pesticides, animal concentration camps, monocultures that exhaust vast expanses of land, is an unsustainable paradox. While it aims at feeding us all at a low price, it depletes the land and poisons us with mutated strains of various bacteria… Continue reading

What will be the first deliverable of Pro Food? Will it be the publication of a Pro Food Manual for each step in the food system, from seed to plate? How does one author such a manual? Beside research, conversations, surveys and interviews, one most probably would need to further learn, gather and analyze each and every current practice of the food system, in the field, to determine and define… Continue reading
By Rob Smart, with permission from the Author, originally published on The Huffington Post earlier today.
With my recent introduction of the term “Pro Food“, and a definition of its core principles, several readers have questioned how Pro Food differs from Slow Food. Rather than try to answer this question on my own, as I am only somewhat familiar with Slow Food, I am opening

What if I told you that America’s food system is broken? What would you say?
Would you defend it by pointing out the abundance of choices offered in today’s average supermarket, estimated to be over 45,000 items? Would you cite that per capita spending on food has dropped significantly over the… Continue reading

#iranelection… one of many strings of characters that effectively broke the monolithic molds of perception over the entire planet; the people of Iran, albeit via the highly restrictive medium of 140 characters-only twitter, took on a third dimension, the dimension of living people just like you and I: people with yearnings for better days, aspirations for tangible elements of justice in their daily lives, people of this, our world. Iranians… Continue reading
