Edible City – Going Back to Simplicity and Self-Sufficiency

Hey real foodies, need a good inspiring movie to watch on a Friday night?  Curl up with some tasty, nutrient-dense popcorn made with coconut oil and lots of butter and enjoy!  (Wonder if popcorn is good for you or if it has GMOs?)

The food system is slowly poisoning all of us

The food system is slowly poisoning all of us, it’s almost like a silent, self-administered genocide for the population and we don’t notice. If we just ate real food most of the time, we’d probably be a whole lot healthier, but then you have to figure out what’s real food. Real food doesn’t come from concentrated animal feeding operations and it doesn’t come from the the big poultry companies…”

We've changed it all.  I think that the basic tenet of life is to wake up in the morning, work really hard growing food, share the work and the experience with your community and your family, come home, prepare a harvested meal, a great, well-cooked meal, and have fun and laughter.  That's the day, that's the life, that's what it was about, we've added too many things to it.”

“All we can do is change course.  Right where we are.  Stop and shift and do things differently.”
