Delicious Revolution

Alice Waters made a call to arms today (02/24/06) in her Op e-d in the New York Times "Eating for Credit". She calls for a "Delicious Revolution" "that will induce children -in a pleasurable way- to think critically about what they eat." Waters has already won several battles and has liberated many of the past food oppression. Her edible schoolyard project teaches kids in public schools the importance of fresh local food and gives them a chance to integrate food into all subjects at school. The result- citizens that value good food and respect the earth that it comes from.

I like the sound of a delicious revolution. It is time for a regime change. We are surrounded by so many bland uninspiring foods that we consume, why not overthrow the blah regime and replace it with a delicious revolution. I remember the first free range chicken I ate (french cut breast from a local farmer at the dupont circle farmer's market in DC). I felt like I was eating chicken for the first time. For me everyday is a battle in the delicious revolution. Every meal we create and enjoy is a victory on the side of our taste buds.

The coming delicious revoultion will liberate us all of uninspired food and will enrich our lives with delicious food.

Stand up for deliciousness... start a delicious revolution in your backyard and your kitchen.
