Where can one find food that lives?
Consider Michael Olson’s Second Law of the Food Chain: The farther we go from the source of our food, the less control we have over our food.
There was a time– not too long ago– that most of our food came from right here on the farm. But then we moved into town and now our food comes from someplace else. And all too often that someplace else is thousands of miles away.
Much can be done to preserve the life in food as it travels along the food chain from where it was grown to where we eat it. It can be canned, dried, frozen, irradiated, pasteurized, pickled, salted, smoked, and sterilized. The food can also be treated with chemical preservatives that inhibit the growth of microbes, and reduce the effects of oxidation. Many of these preservatives are featured on package labels with scientific names that only trained chemists can pronounce.
When all is done that can be done to preserve the life in food, and it is shipped off to market, where it sits on a shelf before finally being purchased and eaten, the life left in the food can only be a fraction of the life it contained when it was still in the ground.
It would seem very reasonable, then, for all who wish to enjoy the best life has to offer, to find food that has as much life in it as possible. And so today we ask:
Where can one find food that lives!
