Kitchen Literacy 3
In part 3 of Kitchen Literacy, Ann Vileisis talks about the need to start making connections between our consumption of food, and all the interrelated social, health, and environmental consequences that occur. Agricultural pollution is a large source of pollution in the United States. In her book, Ann looks to history to see how food, and our connection to food has changed, so that we may become better aware (again) about the food we choose to eat. Eating well is an effective way to improve our knowledge about food, our own health, and the health of the environment. What does eating well mean to you?

Wholeheartedly agree and loved the book tremendously. As a chef, these are words to live by. As a human, inspired to take more action in educating others.

I really loved learning all that Ann discovered. As a chef, I can see how you could make an impact on how people approach their food. We can learn from each other!
