Introduction

The idea of this blog started with my son asking, a simple but a profane question. The question was, 'where did this come from?'. He was asking about strawberries from the supermarket. I started to really think about that question. Where did these strawberries come from? What is the farm like? What pesticides do they use on the crops? What really is the difference between organic and non-organic? How do they pick the strawberries, what are the wages of the workers. Where do they get the containers? What are these containers made of. Who drives the truck? Do these strawberries come to the store, train, truck? What are the wages of the truck driver? the supermarket worker? Where do we imported strawberries come from in the winter...and so on and so on.
I realize that our relationship with food is more complicated then driving up to the supermarket and purchasing it. It has social, culture, political ramifications. Including the most obvious health, and environmental. Some people simply don't question the food on there plate, but I do. With this blog, I am going to explore the question where does this come from, including examining the companies that produce and sell out food, I hope you can help with this journey.
I am also going to supply idea on saving money, new dishes to try, and learning what are really the additives. From organic to non. To Kraft to Kellogg. This is our relationship with food.
