No no. Understood. I linked to the eco justice challenge too my intent in linking back to your post was to illustrate chain of events and to motivate others through your own inspired post on the topic. Perhaps I’ll edit and clarify, though =)

Hello. What a wonderful post! and thank you for spreading the word. But I at Toujours Jacques can take no credit for the Ecojustice08 challenge. It was in progress well before I posted on it. I was just waxing rhapsodic about all the good people in blogland trying to do the right thing, including yourself. Sorry for any confusion. But it’s all good, right?

Thanks for your comments! I’ve just read the article (thank you also for the introduction to it) and the bits about properly valuing things and setting the example certainly resonate but also lead to new questions and concerns – specifically that crazy catch 22 spiral comprised of the food vs. poverty debate. But that’s another angst-fueled post for another time.

Oh this made me laugh. It brought back my own very similar response to the corn section of Omnivore’s Dilemma. And you are so right about the way Pollan so deftly draws the line of responsibility. I wonder if you saw his new article in the New York Times Sunday Magazine? It’s called “Why Bother?” and addresses your (and all of our) worries that our efforts don’t seem enough. Thanks for this great post! TJ

Terry – thanks for stopping by! I’d never really thought of using it as an appetizer (as I tend to just dig into bowls full of the stuff) but I think I’ll employ that at our next wine tasting night (and now my mind’s ticking over on which wines might best accompany said appetizer.)

Thank you also for introducing me to your lovely blog. I love that you’re inspired by your surroundings (something I’ve neglected exploring in this blog despite the wealth of seasonal, local foodstuffs and amazing restaurants and shops in the area – I’ll have to work on that =)
