Your local organization foodshed.net is doing wonderful things. I am glad to see they are working on facilitating and promoting urban agriculture in addition to promoting the benefits of consuming locally grown food from our farmers. I have come to think of gardening (even a small one) as one of the most beneficial things that cancer survivors can do for themselves when they are asking the question "What can I do to help myself?" And since most people do live in the cities, I am all in favor of "Gardens, Not Lawns" (yet another book I am reading). And yes, I have read The Omnivore's Dilemma, and it makes sense to me too. :-) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughtful comments about my book. I send all my best wishes for a healthy and hopeful 2008 and many, many, many years beyond that!<BR/>Diana Dyer, MS, RDDiana Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307130287236271985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394312676214248679.post-75947512767708134972008-01-08T20:55:00.000-05:002008-01-08T20:55:00.000-05:00Diana, The name of our local food group's website...Diana, <BR/><BR/> The name of our local food group's website is http://www.foodshed.net/<BR/> and one of my sons classmates mothers (got all that;) is a passionate leader of the group. If it hadn't been for the article a friend in Chicago gave me of your bc history when I was first dx with bc AND for your lovely book, I NEVER would have been introduced to such a wonderful group. Another book that I find very good reading (and you may have already read it) is "The Omnivores Dilema", bottom line...makes sense to me. I look forward to when the Fulton St Farmers Market opens in May with all it's beautiful sights, sounds, smells and tastes...REAL food never tasted so good. Take care and God bless.
