Everyday Systems

I to, have become much more conscious of what is in my food and where it comes from nowadays. I could tell you and anyone else that wanted to listen some horror stories about chemicals, pesticides, growth hormones, anti-biotics, animal treatment and on and on.

Which is why I chose just recently to totally change my career and open an Organic grocery store that is focusing on LOCAL Organic, fresh foods as much as possible.

Obviously I eat organic and local product as much as possible and prepare it myself (or my boyfriend cooks), but absolutely I like to eat out too. I just try to choose what I hope and think are the best quality restaurants I can.

I have no doubts that the food I eat is 'real' food, it just happens to be overall 'healthy' food too.

Sounds like you do the same, so I thought I'd share some thoughts with you.

That sounds wonderful!

I'm not sure where Peterborough is, but I'm pretty sure it's not within driving distance of me. Too bad.

What amazes me about the Lost River Market & Deli is that it's not in a populated aresa. The total population of that county and the 5 surrounding counties is less than 155,000 people. It shows that an interest in quality food everywhere.

It's about 2 hours south of me and not somewhere I go normally. But if I get in that area, I'll be stopping and shopping!

I'll write more later...I'm kind of brain-dead right now!

I wish you were close to ME.

Wosnes, good links!
