In the past couple of months I've been thinking a lot about how our culture approaches food gathering and sharing. How is it that I can go to the grocery store, do all of my shopping, check out, and return home without ever talking to a single person? This bothers me. The amount of social interaction and sense of community we feel is in direct correlation with our perceived level of happiness. (Eric Weiner, an NPR journalist, talks about this in his book,
Geography of Bliss. Check it out - an easy, interesting read.)
I want to know where my food comes from and I want to share my food with others.
So, check out this website I made for class to address this issue:
Food&Friends, a resource for the individual interested in alternative methods of food gathering and sharing.
Grab some friends and get yer potluck on!
