Why We Are Beginning This Journey

We know most of you must be wondering: why? Those of you who know us well are probably very surprised by our decision. In the past, eating out was our form of entertainment. We searched for the cheapest meat, milk, cheese, and other foods when grocery shopping, with no concern for the consequences of such low prices. Given the choice between driving and walking even across the street, walking would always lose out.

Fortunately for us, the environment, and our local community, we have realized the truth. In order to get cheap groceries, like milk and meat, we have exploited farmers, animals, natural resources, and the ecosystem. Today, we watched Food, Inc.
Finally, we learned of the horrors, deceit, and exploitation needed to maintain the American lifestyle. No longer do we want to support a system based on greed and lies. It is difficult to understand where we have based our decision from without seeing this movie. In a nutshell, Food Inc. shows exactly how food companies make those low prices Americans crave.

Our decision is simply this: we believe it is time to pay slightly more for high quality and safe food products. Also, we know there is more we can do to help minimize our polluting footprint in our society.

It will not be easy. We both love fast food, restaurants, and processed junk food. But, we must say good-bye to these. So too must we say good-bye to the cheap frozen chicken tenders which had made up the majority of our home-cooked meals. Only natural and local food will enjoy our company.

It starts now...
