I will spend a lot of time here exploring the role of food
amongst family and friends, but I am quite fascinated by the possibilities of
using food to improve our communities. I
cannot help but wonder what the impact has been of farmers’ markets and communal
gardens. I like to imagine that food
could be used to achieve lasting social and political change. We know Tip O’Neill and Ronald Reagan loved to
have a drink together. What if we could
get currently-opposed politicians to the table over food? How about Sunni and Shitte? Palestinian and Israeli? This interview got my imagination going… http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/10/15/162805706/jerusalem-a-love-letter-to-food-and-memories-of-home
