In the summer months I do pretty well by intentionally frequenting the farmers' markets every weekend, but those winters do get rough, both for biking and harvesting reasons. That said, I've looked into grow lights for plants, in which case pineapples could become a reality of my own living room. Although I don't have the time nor money to invest in such novelties, I have definitely been more conscious of where my foods come from, the kinds and amounts of resources used to get them to me, and who is actually benefiting from my consumption. I try to make my purchasing decisions based on these factors, both in food and in other products.<BR/><BR/>I'm excited for Kingsolver's newest book, but have no idea when I'll have the time to read it. Next on my list is The Omnivore's Dilemma, and I'm thinking that might have to wait until Christmas.Special Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894140609018031975noreply@blogger.com
