Well, thanks for taking the journey with me through this deconstruction of food.
In the article, The Oil We Eat, Richard Manning states, “Agriculture in this country is not about food; it’s about commodities that require the outlay of still more energy to become food.” For me, this exercise has really highlighted that notion. The correlation between food and oil is obvious and alarming.
This activity has taught me to look at food in a whole new way. I can only hope that others stop and take a good long look at what they are eating, as well.
