the perfict meal

"everything on the menu must have been hunted,gathered,or grown by me." pollan states that this meal is a perfict meal to him but not nessicarally for others. this is because of the satifsaction from preparing the meal purely from scratch. he did this not to present a solution to the many dilemas humans have but he did it to further understand the process and what it takes for someone to create there own meal. im my opinion it is rediculous to expect every family to gorw there own food and hunt for mushroom, and animals. although this stlye of preparation is a solution to foods problems such as the industry it is a totlally illogical solution compared to the world we live in today.

locovore

locovore are people who do not eat food that are more than 100 miles away from there residences. this usually mean the foods they eat are organic and are usually healthier. locoviors usually have a more diverse range of food because they eat seasonally. which mean that they what ever is in seasons i.e pumkins during fall. the term locovore is a generally new. although being a locovore is an intereseting style of living although it may be generally a difficult way to obtain food. generally for someone like myself who primary lives in the city eating locally may be a difficult tast to take. places like geneseo were we have famers not 2 miles away. being a locovore shouldnt be a full time eating style. in my opion being a locovore is a comprimise. eat as close to were u live as posible

the hunt

i decided to separate this topic from the last beacuse it rose an interesting debate. after discussing the contents of the book were pollan vividly describes his ventures as he hunts pigs, the classed discussed is it fair to hunt with guns. i instantly went with yes it is fair. humans are incapable of running amazing speeds or hearing from long distances but we can use our brains. this allowes us to set traps and even us any weapon we seem fit to capture or kill our prey. we adapted to eat meat and we also adapted in a tecelogical sence. so y cant we combine the two to feed our selves in a qucik and efficant manner
