The name says it all.

I thought for a long time about what I should title my blog. That's probably the reason I didn't launch it earlier this week. I wanted something that was somewhat witty, but said what it was all about. I filled my brainstorming paper with lots of one liners that I thought would work. Back when I first discovered www.sustainabletable.org, I posted it on my Facebook profile and said, "I'm convinced this can change the world." I re-read that and it spoke to me. I thought it was a good fit for the purpose of the blog.
I decided to do a Google search tonight to see if anyone else was trying to change the world one meal at a time. There are! http://www.gustorganics.com/change.php It's the first and only organic certified restaurant in New York. It also has an organic bar--and the only one on the planet! "Passion and truth are in every ingredient." How fabulous of a statement is that? I honestly want to take a trip there just to eat at this restaurant. Have you ever seen a restaurant list its values on their website? It's so refreshing. That's why I love the sustainable food movement. It's about the mindset almost as much as the food. You care. There's a purpose. You do things for the greater good. Now imagine if more people thought like this...do you see the world changing yet?

  1. You might be interested in a project a friend of mine is trying to get off the ground:

    It is about sustainability in food, and I think is a good fit with you views. Thomas Henderson started it--he's on Facebook too.
    It's worth a look see for you.
    ll of us have to start taking steps, one at a time....may seem small...... ;)
