Who knew that fasting from food waste [4] could help us see our responsibility to slow the amount of carbon each of us puts in the atmosphere? I love how my refrigerator looks now, organized and ready to create healthy dishes, without wasting any of it.
Our global health crisis [5] shows me more ways to be informed about food and the people who get our bounty to us. Farm workers can't shelter in place as I can, and neither can truck drivers or grocery clerks. I'm moved to gratitude and respect for those people. I am changed by both my Lenten fast and this Covid-19 pandemic to look with fresh eyes at my relationship to food and those who get it to me. My responsibility: Become better informed about those who play such an important role and to use the bounty they deliver without wasting any of it.
