A2: Food

The author of Mother’s Kitchen writes about “Why I eat local food” – and ties it back, in part, to her family’s traditions and her Polish heritage: “It’s because it’s what I always have known. I like to support local farmers, too, but not because I think there will be a post petroleum apocalypse or anything. I want to support the local economy because I love the state of Michigan and its people. And I eat seasonally because I like the rhythm of the seasons and the food just tastes better.” [Source]
