We meet people on fad diets. Can't eat tomatoes, don't fry in olive oil, avoiding wheat that's bad too. Well we're on an Italian diet because most of the 58 million population have got it right.

Tofu is wonderful but in the hands of someone who can't cook it's a disaster dish. Get a recipe, surround it with strong flavours and most of all respect 3,000 years of history.

Slow Food Nation

I'm reading the wrong blogs. Only just found this - published September 9th 2006.

Edited by Alice Waters of Chez Panisse on Alternet it makes good reading, and long thinking "Food is destiny, every decision we make about food has personal and global repercussions". Right down to the aisles of the supermarkets. We now rely on just eight crops to provide 75 percent of the world's food. A frightening monoculture.
