late night food musings…

A few thoughts…

Most recently, I have been thinking about food. I think about food a lot, but I have been thinking about supporting local foods whenever possible. I guess a lot of readers would say, of course! Yes, but lately I have been getting this giddy little thrill out of “doing the right thing”. Anyone who wants to can snob me on that. ;-)

How do I explain this? It is late…

I work in a job that entails some sacrifice (high stress, low pay, safety issues, to say the least), in hopes of working toward a more humane society. After awhile, however, it feels obsolete. I used to feel really satisfied when I did good work. It’s not the same anymore. Now, it makes me feel satisfied when I buy some vegetables from a local farmer.

I guess it might mean that it is my time for a new challenge, maybe grad school?

Another thought… I started eating meat again about a year ago. (warning: venting) When I was a vegetarian, I really hated that it was sort of assumed vegetarians simply replaced meat with vegetables. This especially saddened me when it came from youth I worked with, people often raised with horrible nutrition. The point is, that even now that I do eat meat, I eat the same amount of vegetables, if not more! People should always eat vegetables, vegetarian or not.
