Ethics of Eating - Catherine at JCU

I really enjoyed listening to Barbara Kingsolver discuss her book and her year of growing her own food with her family. She had some really good insights about nutrition, cooking, and the importance of buying locally if you are going to buy at all. I liked how she said that they stopped thinking about what food they were giving up and started thinking about what food they had available. Also, in order to truly eat nutritional food, one must be willing to cook. However, many people don't have time to cook or don't enjoy it. Therefore, as Kingsolver mentioned, thinking about cooking as family time and as entertainment makes it a much more enjoyable and a seemingly less time consuming activity.
