How to eat out-of-season, when there's not much local fresh food. How much do you love bananas? Where do salt and pepper come from? Various food topics, considered. Food for thought?

What about bananas?

Here in Canada, many of us grow up without making a distinction between local food and food from far away. We don't even pay that much attention to seasons. I grew up thinking bananas were a basic, healthy, year-round fresh fruit. A staple, like...milk. Eggs, milk, apples, bananas...

DIY food production

It's perfectly possible, and fun, to produce some of your own food. Grow some veggies. Pickle some veggies. Have a few chickens for eggs. Lots of ways to get your hand in.

You are what you eat!

How well you eat is the baseline for life as you know it! A healthy diet is more than just a way to pass an annual check-up. What you eat plays a big part in how much energy you have through the day, and in how feel. Energetic, cheerful and sharp as a tack? Or slow and grumpy? Look to your food quality.
