Today is unofficially food day at DTE. And why not? We’re definitely spending more time in the kitchen, regularly planning meals to only make a trip to the market once a week, and growing more aware of "where it comes from" while having fun. But this appears unreachable for a surprising number of people. Maybe it shouldn’t. Proponents of eating responsibly through environmentally friendly practices are still put down as “elitist,” another cultural (and seemingly financial) division. For the naysayers, we now have “Food Matters: A Guide To Concious Eating With More Than 75 Recipes” by Mark Bittman. This book is more pragmatic than, say, Michael Pollan, adhering to his beliefs yet actually demonstrating how. (Full review coming soon, but go ahead and check Bittman’s blog and weekly column, "The Minimalist," at NYT.)
