Thanks for shedding some light on this topic and bringing the real local people to light! I too feel that I eat as local and organic (the true meaning of the word) as possible and try as hard as I can to wade through the "greenwashing" and be a critical and minimal consumer. I love that you are going to see Food INC. I am definitely going to have to see it too...I checked out the trailer and it looks great!!<br /><br />PS. I think they are called P.E.Islanders...<br /><br />Hugs...hope to see you soon.Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387430912583880104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-29801434279550993352009-09-06T01:32:33.793-03:002009-09-06T01:32:33.793-03:00I was shocked when I read the list of local choice...I was shocked when I read the list of local choices too, no mention of the farmers markets, cheese houses, etc. Most of the list was processed crap.<br /><br />I had to go back and read it just to make sure and then I realized that I skipped the line - "Here are a few of the Atlantic produced foods you will find in your Co-op store"<br /><br />Makes sense because Co-op did sponsor the event but I still don't get why they left off the places to buy clean, real foods.

Glad to "meet" new readers.<br /><br />We agree with everything you've said in this post...a few fellow Halifax bloggers and I did the dinner last night and we were also appauled by the list of "local" foods. As you noticed we didn't indulge in any of that processed junk...we did the farmers market and bought a locally raised chicken from Petes. :)Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211192590725673312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-23274889821939067292009-09-05T21:23:07.133-03:002009-09-05T21:23:07.133-03:00I couldn't agree with you more!
