Why we do what we do….

….because we love it, of course.  But also because we’re appalled by the quality of food Americans consume and want to do a little bit to resist the tide.  The people we know raising everything from organic lettuce to grass fed beef have pretty much the same quixotic attitude.

We know we’re a “drop in the bucket”….we know there are easier, more profitable ways to do what we’re doing….but taking a stand is worth it.

Sometimes we become bores on the subject.  I manage to contain myself on that score better than Wooz.  There she was at a party the other night showing pictures of our cows and lecturing on the health benefits of grass fed beef.  A bit rude since the host had just spent a lot of money on a huge roast.

So, not to be a bore, but here in a nutshell is the problem.  (Thanks to Bill Roberts for the link)

Wonder if the obesity epidemic…generally linked to the huge amount of sugar in our food…might also be due to bodies desperately eating, trying to find adequate nutrition?
