> >Have you read any of Barbara Kingsolver's stuff?
Kingslover's Virginia location is Abingdon, twenty miles from here. Her
husband is a prof at Emory, another twenty miles north of there.
The book is very good, but like so many imported people, Kingsolver was too
impressed witht he local grant supported "sustainable" (not!) outfit run by
professional grant-mongers.
Recall that she said they had to rely on strawberry jam during the winter
because there was no local fruit available. Pshaw! If she had just stopped
at
the Po' Boy produce stand on Main Street no less, she'd have found bushels of
locally grown apples al winter long. And cheap too, 39 cents a pound.
At best a non-local is only going to know just so much about eating local.
