Around here, everyone means well, but it's just so much easier to do expensive meals with Philadelphia chefs that the other items don't tend to be done. Personally, I did a garlic tasting with the Slow Food Philadelphia group last year. The event was held at a small CSA farm in Lancaster County. Unfortunately, the CSA farmers simply threw their produce on the table and did not label it or talk about it at all -- so instead of the interesting heirlooms I know their produce was, it just looked like a bunch of funny-looking vegetables. So, folks loved me (since I talked about the different types of garlic and had lots of different "taste experiences" available), but were bored with the farmers. So, the "Harvest Picnic" has been eliminated -- it's just more interesting to go to a unique restaurant to experience a menu one wouldn't usually find or to do "tasting" with the various speciality food vendors (who are jumping on board this movement with both feet as it means increasing sales and expanding their customer base). Slow Food Philadelphia also tried to sign folks up for CSA produce, but with insufficient education about the risks and our killer drought this summer, it wasn't a positive experience -- so folks dropped out significantly. I'd love to be more involved (and I'm on the announcement list), but the events are simply out of my price range -- especially with a husband who was laid off and is trying to develop his own business. The Slow Food movement SHOULD be encouraging the use of local foods, but in areas where the high-end folks are more plentiful and more organized, it's shifting to, in the words of Mark Winne, "just another gourmet eating club." For those of you who are able to use this movement to your advantage -- go for it! Hopefully, the Slow Food groups in the high-rent districts will be encouraged by your efforts and be inspired to look at who's growing in their own backyards.

From: Steve Smoot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ----__JNP_000_68fe.7cff.1054 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Folks, Yes, health departments' efforts to control every aspect of food consumption do seem a little misplaced to some of us involved in organic agriculture. A look at many studies of the human health on this planet indicates that food consumption is not currently a very safe activity. On the other end of the issue stands the fact that Washington State, with one of the highest rates of per capita income, ranks 2nd in the nation for "food insecurity" - that means families with not enough food to eat. Those nonprofit organizations whose primary focus is "food security" might be granted a little latitude by the regulators who seem to be, otherwise, shoveling sand against the tide of corporate control of our food supply. Or, perhaps a correct metaphor would be "carrying water" for the food corporations. This isn't going to be an easy subject for a community gardening organization to solve but we should keep in mind that our activities are at the forefront of the individual family's opportunity to gain some measure of food security. If the local food police feel that they have prosecutorial power over community potlucks today are they then not likely to come to believe that they should control community gardening tomorrow? Perhaps this would be acceptable if there was some measure of success in their efforts to insure public safety. However, here in Spokane and elsewhere in the state, the government has managed to allow city compost to be contaminated with herbicides. Besides crop loss, the result here has been the closing down of the city sponsored composting effort at a very significant cost to taxpayers. Remarkably, this persistent herbicide in the compost continues to be used on agricultural land despite having been shown capable of not only persisting in plant residue but of passing directly through cattle and contaminating manure. A couple of years ago, there was a local outbreak of a food born parasitic infection. Exposure occurred during a banquet and information about this very significant health event was published in the journal of the American Medical Association. Remarkably, the produce company and restaurant which were the sources of this problem was never publicly identified. One might be led to the conclusion that regulation is a matter of politics when agencies step in aggressively to prohibit activities that draw attention and seek to support local food security, while failing in their responsibilities to provide local gardeners with safe soil amendments and to inform us of other dangers to public health. Message: 2 Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 17:17:31 -0500 (EST) From: Jeneva Storme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [cg] Bad for potlucks, folks? Unfortunately, the Health Authority in Spokane has a history of cracking down on public consumption of home-cooked food in any context. I remember when they banned home-prepared food, even sandwiches, from being provided to youth at Crosswalk, a centre to help street kids. The reason given was health risks from improperly prepared food -- but these kids often have to resort to eating out of trash bins, are they really in danger from a couple of homemade sandwiches or a bowl of soup? This type of thing is a ridiculous abuse of authority to "protect us from ourselves", and should be fought with every bit of power at the people's disposal. ===== Greening West Broadway Coordinator "Neighbourhood Solutions for Community Change" West Broadway Development Corporation 640 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0X3 phone: 774-3534 fax: 779-2203 website: http://www.westbroadway.mb.ca ----__JNP_000_68fe.7cff.1054 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dwindows-1252" http-equiv=3DContent-= Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.3105.105" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY bottomMargin=3D0 leftMargin=3D3 rightMargin=3D3 topMargin=3D0> <DIV><FONT size=3D2> <P>Hi Folks,</P> <P>Yes, health departments' efforts to control every aspect of food = consumption=20 do seem a little misplaced to some of us involved in organic agriculture.
