This Week on Cooking Up a Story
The middle class is shrinking. Income disparity—the gap between the rich and the poor is widening—we live in two Americas. Those who have access to a good education, good job opportunities, good health insurance, and good food—and those who do not. This Tuesday, January 25, 2009, TwoJunes begins their 3-part series on Cooking Up a Story: The Sustainable Food Movement’s Dirty Little Secret. TwoJunes explores the difficulties facing people with limited means, and how the notion of sustainable food, and organics, is not a realistic option for large numbers of people, and what we must do to solve this problem.
Also, this week of January 25:
A Good Food Farmer (Cooking Up a Story: Stories): He’s a man of ideas, a man of action; he’s a good food farmer. Anthony Boutard shares his passion for food, and his philosophy of farming: what he looks for to grow, and why. Not many people actively farm in the winter, and this story offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that exist for farming, and selling fresh crops during the winter season.

I don’t understand what is twojunes? can you explain please?
Hi Yemek:
The Two Junes are 2 food enthusiasts/professionals who came up with the name from the ‘Leave It to Beaver’ tv show from the 50′s and ’60′s. Beaver was the young son of June and Ward Cleaver. June was a stereotype of the housewife from that time period – the mother who made everything from scratch, cleaned, gardened, and had the gals over for bridge…all with a smile and nary a hair out of place.
We posted an introduction to them on January 12, 2009. Here’s a link to that post: http://cookingupastory.com/introducing-the-twojunes
