The next best thing is teaching yourself how to preserve these foods. My wife and I had freezing down pat. :) This year we taught ourselves how to pressure can everything from tomatoes to homemade soups. It's great, and now we will save a bundle in groceries this winter. Precisely. The next best thing is teaching yourself how to preserve these foods.

There is nothing as good as a vegetable that you just picked 10 minutes ago, it's like another entity entirely than anything you can buy, even from a farmer's market.

The main dispute regarding the movie was the "hockey stick" graph--and the criticisms of that graph do not seem to hold up. But since the criticisms are repeated endlessly even after being taken apart, they gain the status of "truth" through repetition.

Grassroots movements to eat local and healthy often do save cash too, especially with growing coops or buying straight from farm. I really hope this movement blows up big time in the next few years.... Down with the mega farms :) Still not seen the movie but really have been meaning too….

I believe the movie is based mostly on the book Fast Food Nation and the Omnivore's Dilemma. I read Fast Food Nation a few years ago and it really made me re-think eating food that I don't know where it comes from. Another great book on health is Ultrametabolism by Dr Mark Hyams. In it he talks about artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup. We recently watched Food Inc and indeed it is eye-opening.

This is where frugalistas and foodies and environmentalists shake hands. Homemade pesto anyone?

Now that was a great discussion. I have heard that Food Inc. is great and I want to see it, though I wonder how much of the information in it can be refuted, kinda like An Inconvenient Truth.

Loved it. The trailer for the documentary can be found on You Tube, hilarious. I watched Food Inc. a couple of weeks ago. Very eye opening. I wonder how similar Canada's agriculture is compared to the states. I can only hope that things are a little better here in Canada. You need to watch No Impact Man. Loved it.

I'll have to check out that book - sounds great! I believe the most important thing to come away with is awareness. We really need to pay more attention to where our food comes from and how it is grown/prepared. I probably won't be happy until I'm raising all my own food on my own land - which is all part of my long term goals. :) Yeah, there is soooo much more to this topic than I was able to cover in this short little post… I’ll have to check out that book – sounds great!

It is an eye-opening experience and will change your eating habits forever. Seriously, check it out - it is well worth renting/buying/borrowing however you can get it.

McWilliams. It will blow your mind, especially knowing that it was written by an avowed environmentalist. He skewers localism saying that there are much better ways to evaluate the food we eat than "food miles." Also, all that's claimed to be organic just simply isn't. I was impressed by his willingness to search for the truth, even if it didn’t fit his version of reality. It's a captivating read.
