Anyway – I’m lucky to live in a country that is the worlds largest consumer of organic foods – but even organic or ‘bio’ as it’s called here can get pretty industrialized. I am really trying to buy local food at farmers markets – not only for the treatment of animals but to support small scale family farms – which are abundant in Bavaria (and subsidized by the govt) That can be hard though too! Yesterday I went to the Viktualienmarkt (the big farmers market in the middle of town) and went to my favorite stand run my a hearty looking woman with dirty mangled hands (her stuff has gotta be good, right?) I bought a head of garlic and then right away noticed that the sign on the basket said the garlic was from China! Constant vigilance required, man.
