Two days ago I passed a small personal milestone. Perhaps milestone is the wrong word to use as I did not lose 100 lbs of weight, climb a mountain or jump out of an aeroplane.5 February 2013 was the day that I stopped eating meat. The strange thing is that it seems longer than a year since I last ate meat. I honestly do not miss meat in the slightest. The only frustrating part of being vegetarian is when you are out with friends and family at a restaurant; you inevitably have one or two dishes to choose from while they have about thirty. And the one dish on offer is always bloody risotto. Grrrrrr! Why, Why, Oh Why? Whenever someone hears that you are a vegetarian, they always follow it up with the simple question “ Why?”. Therefore, I thought I would beat you all to the punch and explain why I decided to try vegetarianism. I suppose I could be called a non-ethical vegetarian. Like many people, I grew up with a dog in the family and to this day I love animals of all kinds. I could never go and hunt for my food and eat it, but that is what meat eaters really should do. The problem is that there is no connection from the animal to the food that is put on our plate. I believe if more people made that connection, they would stop eating meat. But killing animals was not the reason I stopped eating meat. I would love to tell you all it was, but that would be a lie. My brother, on the other hand, has always been ethical about his food. He became a vegetarian when he was a teenager and then became a vegan. He is very knowledgable on the subject and researches every single thing he eats. He also would not hurt a fly.literally. If he saw your car was about to kill a slug, he would tell you to stop the car so that he could move the slug to safety. Although I ate meat all my life, I would eat vegan and vegetarian food when I was with my brother and his girlfriend (who is also a vegan).
What's in a Word? In the four years since the word locavore was coined and two years since it became the New Oxford American Dictionary's 2007 Word of the Year, the number of people involved in local foods continues to escalate. The U. S. is becoming a Locavore Nation as more and more consumers learn they can eat well and healthy with food produced in close proximity to where they live and work. Savvy customers expect locally sourced foods on the menus at their restaurants and in stock at the produce counters of their grocery stores. The demand for locally sourced foods is UP! Demand spurs supply. The National Gardening Association anticipated a 40% increase in the number of homeowners who will plant gardens in 2009 compared to 2007-a forecast borne out this spring in articles and reports about seed sales across the U. S. The Ag Census 2007 documents a leveling in the decline of farms in the U. S. for the first time since WWII and a major jump in the number of new farms under 50 acres. More small-scale farming operations yield more output for local consumption which provides more opportunity for viable direct marketing approaches. As a result, the Ag Census notes a significant increase in the number of farmers' markets during the period. So, more gardens, more farms, more market outlets, there's good money to be made here, right? Not necessarily. There's considerable work to be done to first understand the context in which local food systems can be profitable and sustainable and second, to adopt the business models uniquely positioned for success in those local systems. How Big is the Opportunity? A March 2009 final report, Local Food, Farms, & Jobs: Growing the Illinois Economy, given to the Illinois General Assembly by the Local and Organic Food and Farm Task Force opened with the following statement: Illinois consumers spend billion.
