I'm about 200 pages in to "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, so I've been thinking a lot about what I eat -- and how to find out more about what I eat -- lately.
Then today I was browsing the New York Times online, and I found this article about a New York writer who's trying to live carbon-free for a year because his agent thinks he can sell a book about it. His lifestyle involves eating local food and not using toilet paper -- I'm guessing he's going to sell a few books (as long as people don't burn out on his blog).
Anyway, I'm feeling overwhelmed because how can eating responsibly (that is not dumping pesticides on the land and using gallons of gas to get food) be so difficult? I want to find a balance between convenience and sustainability -- is there one?
At least it's spring in Minnesota, which means Farmers' Markets are opening soon and it's time to find a Community Supported Agriculture program. A temporary solution is on its way.
