People are often concerned with how dependent other countries are on foreign aid, how dependent the homeless are on handouts, and how dependent the world is on oil.
Today, I was humbled by a dependence that I was perhaps not ready to be cognizant of.
When you live in a suburb like Glenside and don't have much time, money or a car at your disposal, it is VERY challenging to buy local food. What's more, even if you have managed to find a local item, do you recognize the names of all the ingredients? (My latest measure, if I get bored or confused reading the ingredients list the item is not for me. this will either improve my food selection or my concentration abilities. win win.) At some point it seems you actually have to choose between local and healthy.
SO there is some frustration here today.
