Again, I can't agree with all he says but this line caught my eye:
"I went in search of food with jaw-dropping flavor, and surprisingly, all roads led me straight to soil."
Well of course. People say there's nothing like homegrown, but there's a lot more going on below the soil surface. We keep telling our people that flavor is compromised by artificial fertilizers & dead soil killed by chemicals & compaction. It's cheating plants of what they want, all for weak growth & faster production. And flavor sells.
