Short and Funny Raw Food Story

[Raene]

So, the farmers at my CSA are very pro-meat, etc. They post recipes weekly of things to do the with veggies, and they ask for people to send some in, but every time I send in a raw recipe they refuse to include it :(

Well, a few weeks ago I asked if I could get some carrot greens because they give us the carrots without the greens attached. I almost died laughing when the farmer lady said "Oh, no...we cut those off right away...if you don't, they take all the nutrients out of the carrot." I wanted to die laughing because she didn't realize the absurdity in what she was saying there...I held my tongue but wanted to say "YES, they ARE nutritious...SO WHY are you throwing them away??!!!!"

Oh cooked people. They do give me a laugh sometimes.

Haaaaa! Funny and very sad at the same time. It's the same as when people think whole foods are somehow in some special category. That you are weird for eating something from a tree or that comes directly from the ground. Processed on the other hand or in a box is "normal" and okay. Add bonus points if you have to put it in the microwave. lol.

What is a CSA?

[Raene]

It's Community Supported Agriculture. In a lot of areas the farms offer a CSA program in which you sign up, pay a certain amount, and then get a share of their produce. So every week we go pick up our share...it's a great mix of produce, much cheaper than buying at the store, and you're directly supporting the farmers who grew it.
