It is our responsibility to enjoy Earth without ruining it...

Friends, I recently finished a fantastic read -- The Ethical Gourmet: How to Enjoy Great Food That is Humanely Raised, Sustainable, Nonendangered, and That Replenishes the Earth by Jay Weinstein (2006).

Author Weinstein challenges the reader to consider ethical choices in his/her selections of all foods - from vegetables to seafoods to meats. I very much enjoyed his passionate discussion on the politics of our food, as well as experimenting with his grains, beans and legumes recipes included in the book.

In the words of Weinstein, "we can live without causing undue harm to other living things and our ecosystem."

Special thanks to a good friend who lent me this treasure fresh from a recent visit to the bookstore (yes, I promise to return it very soon!).
