I eat all manners of fast-food and meat. I love exotic fruit and even eat veal. I have no use for anyone telling me what I should or shouldn't eat or where I should get it. As an avid consumer, contributing to our economic health I wish to remain free to eat what produce I want and at any restaurant I want. It's a personal choice really. I never eat organic! The stuff tasts funny to me and doesn';t satisfy. I got steamed when KFC changed their cooking oil. It's doesn't taste the same and the chicken dries out too quickly. For what? To eliminate trans-fat that has been in our diets for 20,000 years? I deserve a break today. Good luck to all you Granolas I'm gonna enjoy my short life. Slow food would never work for me.

However as a vegetarian who tries to eat almost excelusively organicly grown produce I find it almost impossible to follow both priniciples I can either have the organic apple that probably came from the Southern United States somewheres or I can have the non organic apple that originated from here in Nova Scotia. Also you can really get any fresh produce that originated locally during the winter. This has bothered me for a while and pretty much every time I go to the grocery store it would probably be easy for me to find locally produced meats (which I dont eat regardless of where they come from) or root type vegtables that can be stored for many months. I cant just eat potatoes though for 8 months of the year. Do you know of any organizations or websites that deal with this issue? I also shop at the large grocery stores which does bother me but at the same time the local farmers market just just have the organicly grown produce I am seeking. I am not sure where to go to find these answers locally but it seems what I am seeking just isnt available. I would like to know how the Acadia students are doing it. Surely here in Halifax it would be even more logistically viable. Oh yeah and I was listening to the show when you went over the definition of something organic but I think you understand I am refering to produce that is grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides and without that turtle wax coating that makes your apple shinier than a new car. I cant believe Andrew cut you short last week for Ben Mulroney.... The slow food idea is a great concept.
