Sarah's so correct in her latest blog post. I pondered my jalapenos today, dragging in 25 pounds of peppers, I didn't weigh either the okra nor the peas, but jalapenos don't come from a can with a label, they come from a plant that's simple to grow and can take less than great soil. A fail safe plant, no kidding, so simple.
Kids can tell us all about Justin Bieber or ICarly, but have no clue as to the origin of that which they stuff their faces with, much of what isn't really food anyway, but rather foodstuff.
Vote for Sarah here today please, you do have to join Foodbuzz to vote, but it's no biggie, easy to do.

It's surprising--even shocking--how much food can be grown in a suburban flower bed--let alone even a tiny backyard. We are drowning in Roma tomatoes at the moment [from the flower bed] and enjoying every bite!
Have you heard the latest about genetically modified salmon? I don't eat fish, but why isn't the plain old, natural version of everything good enough?
Love the photo of the peppers! My tomatoes have tuckered out but we still have lots of peppers, which we give away! I also have one small eggplant I harvested before the bugs got it, now I just have to figure out how to fix it; maybe parmigiana?!? If people would just eat more fresh veggies they'd never go back to the shipped crap...
Hopewell - It truly is shocking how much can be grown in a small plot and it's something I wish folks knew. I'm jealous of the Romas, my own tomato harvest petered out some time ago.
Wendy, yes I'd read about it but for the life of me, I just don't get it. Not any part of it. Can't we just leave food alone and uncontaminated? Will this be the Armageddon?
Dee - it is truly addictive, fresh veggies that it, plus the empowerment we get from eliminating the middle man, huh?
I wonder if the Braves postseason hopes will fall on "Big Game" Billy and if he will come up small, just like he always does. Two of my least favorite people in baseball retiring this year: Wags and Bobby Cox. Can't wait.
Jules - Bobby Cox is a least favorite? Really? I so adore him and all he's done as a manager. I can't imagine baseball without him.
Cindy, no offense but I'm really not a fan of his. He sticks with guys that aren't producing because they are "his guys". He's had superior talent, but the Braves scouting and player development makes Cox look better than he is.
One mistake comes to mind that baffles me to this day: how do you bring in Charlie Liebrandt to face Kirby Puckett in game 6 of the WS for all the marbles?
Jules, the 'see you tomorrow night' moment? Or any time he sent Greg McMichaels in, or even Sid Bream, the slowest runner, that one fateful night, or Mark Wohlers when he was struggling? I have a LOOOOONG list of examples, but I still think Bobby's the best
