re: #167 Killgore Trout

Guys like Jamie Oliver and Michael Pollan have the right answer. We’ve lost our relationship with food and we now eat processed crap. Even poor people waste a lot of money buying processed food because they don’t know how to cook from scratch anymore. We need to change our food culture.

There was a piece in one of the local tabloid papers a while ago by a young mom in the Bay Area who described slowly going insane trying to make some from-scratch organic feast for her kids. Someone wrote in and pointed out that ‘organic’, or ‘healthy’ or ‘locavore’ does not need to mean complicated time-consuming cooking. I think that’s some of it. We have limited time available, and I think for a lot of people, the food they know how to COOK is time-consuming. If we’re going to start eating real food agian, we need to know how to make fast real food.

I love Crock Pots!
