But seriously, do you know? A couple of months ago I was in Panama, sitting on a bench staring at the Panama Canal, on an unforgivingly hot afternoon. Everything in Panama pushed me to think about the trajectory foods go through. Where does our food come from? Gosh, I have been obsessing about this for years now. I can’t drop it.
After reading Real Food/Fake Food I buy my fish at Costco or Whole Foods and my vegetables and fruit at a wonderfully small but popular vegetable store in East Bay who get most of their veggies from smaller farms in the Central Valley and Mexico. Because of the store's high turnover rate (a requirement I have for veggie/fruit stores I use), they always have fresh goods.
I picked up a mango yesterday and made sure to look and see where it was from--Ecuador!
