Slow Food, Mindful Growing, Cooking and Eating

The WHO recently reported that the number of people malnourished from overeating has surpassed those that are malnourished from under eating. Neither is good, but at least those of us that have too much food to eat can choose to eat less. And to eat better. Slow food and local food can be a big part of this. And if we make growing, foraging and cooking, as much of the process as eating as possible, we'll be eating and living healthier, and eating better tasting food too. Mindful eating is better for you and the planet than stuffing your face. I recommend Gary Nabhan among others, for furthering reading on slow and local food. Oh, and I just read this article about Martha's Vineyard in the NYT.
