Back to the Land

It's not often that someone can write something that is both inspiring and informative, without sounding a little boring. Thanks to my wonderful boss, who always makes sure to send me the most interesting and inspiring things, I read a blog post today that very sweetly addresses one of my most pressing concerns when it comes to modern day life - our food supply. Maira Kalman - an illustrator and author of childrens books, and writer of this NY Times Blog, has put together a lovely story that touches upon all the things that we need to think about - where our food comes from, how it affects us, and what it means for our children, and our society. Maybe it's just me, but I think that sometimes a children's author can be so much more profound, eloquent and informative than someone who writes for us unimaginative adults. So I thought I'd spread the love, and the info, and share: Back to the Land. And of course, there's always more info to be had - so check out these reading lists I posted previously - and maybe a Google search or two, and let the education begin!
