Poking fun at the locavore movement |

Filed under: Newspapers, Local Eating 
There comes a time when we local foodies realize that we've been taking ourselves a little too seriously. I actually had that moment last night, when, after buying a bunch of fresh carrots at my local produce market, I realized that they had been shipped in from California. I was so distressed at this revelation that I nearly took them back to the store. However, I immediately understood the ridiculousness of my reaction and took the carrots home (and they were delicious).
The above cartoon from Toothpaste for Dinner gets at the absurdity of the current food trends and helps us (well, at least me) remember how lucky we are to have such food choice. In a world that is racked with war, famine, drought and malnutrition, those of us who have the opportunity be concerned about where our carrots were grown are truly fortunate.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
