Healthy
nutritious food should not be an elitist privilege;
it should be an inalienable right.
Agriculture touches everything.
Every thing we ingest has a consequence, a consequence to our physical
being, a reverse consequence to the soil that food was grown in
and everything in between and beyond. Each decision we make in
the process of buying and eating food enforces a specific paradigm.
This film is an odyssey, my quest
for clarity in what I’m
finding to be a very hazy time in our adaptation as a species on
this planet.
Imagine a day when any person can walk into any restaurant, grocery
or convenience store, make a random selection and be part of a
chain of events based on sustainability, health and a lack of harm.
We are currently very far from that day but I think we would benefit
greatly from turning the ship in that general direction.
A good start would be striving for clarity and accountability with
regards to the consequence of our choice. While too few of us farm
we all eat and shape the paradigm with every purchase and bite.
Unfortunately we seem to be lacking a benevolent shepherd. We all
need to be our own food advocate and more importantly advocates
for our children's nutritional wellbeing. While many of us have
limited access to varied food choices we are all victim to skewed
and confusing information regarding food and nutrition in the current
market-driven paradigm.
This is my attempt to contribute to the clarification of that confusion
for myself, my family and hopefully you as well.
The clips below are not necessarily indicative of where I'm going
but they are from the raw stock that I have been accumulating.
At best they are meanderings in my process of clarification. They
may have some intermittent value.
Feel free to share them with others, check in from time to time
and by all means share your reactions if you are so moved.
