The Revolution Has Already Started in my Backyard

I have so many posts lined up in my brain, waiting to be shared. But I didn't want to let that stop me from sharing this amazing paragraph I just read. It made me want to jump up yell! Which I did. Then I posted it on the internet, with this inspirational photo of me harvesting lettuce from my garden.

"As cook in your kitchen you enjoy an omniscience about your food that no amount of supermarket study or label reading could hope to match. Having retaken control of the meal from the food scientists and processors, you know exactly what is and is not in it: There are no questions about high-fructose corn syrup, or ethoxylated diglyerides, or partially hydrogenated soy oil, for the simple reason that you didn't ethoxylate or partially hydrogenate anything, nor did you add any additives . . . To reclaim this much control over one's food, to take it back from industry and science, is no small thing; indeed, in our time cooking from scratch and growing any of your own food qualify as subversive acts."
