When did we get so alienated from our most basic needs and replace simple things that fortify us with things that come from a lab kitchen in a cardboard box shipped to our supermarket from thousands of miles away? It is so important to eat real food for many different reasons; sustainability, bonding with your family/community, disease prevention, cost, etc. I bought a box of Kashi bars to carry with me when I travel and they were almost $5/bar! I can make two servings of phad thai at home for that much! Gardening and eating fresh produce satisfies your senses as well as your appetite. The beef industry not only feeds their cattle corn, but some of them have their cattle be cannibals...otherwise, we wouldn't have any mad cow disease....sick thought. I agree that people should cook and share their meals....that way they are sharing an experience and being satisfied emotionally in the process. Thanks!
