We are so lucky to have such a farming community around us. It is great to get fresh local greens all through the winter! It is so sad to think of children not being able to recognize an apple or potato! How did we ever lose real food! Propaganda ... in the same ways women were made to believe it was better to use formula rather than feed their babies their own body-made milk. You have to admire... in a perverse way... the marketing staff of companies that stole our true healthy food from us beginning as babies and then later, when women woke up ... adults and our children. I know I am over simplifying here. How processed food was ever thought to be better than real food is a mystery to me. I had wondered about how Oliver's project in VA. was going after reading about it awhile back. Your post inspires thought about how the food industry is just as criminal as the tobacco industry... though I know you are not saying this... being a food activist I am always thinking this way. Your post is so uplifting and full of promise. This is an outstanding post Pat!! We are so lucky to have such a farming community around us.

Could other schools follow suit with a relationship between Dining Services and classes where this kind of project can give students credits? A great college project as well. GCC? UMass?
