About Me
- Local Grrrl
- I'm a food researcher, novice gardener, concerned citizen. Why 'home grown'? My perspective 'comes' from Alberta, although I want to put Alberta in a global context. We have unique problems, constraints and opportunities, and I think we (the voting public) need to dialogue more about what we can do to solve our agricultural, health and environmental problems. These are often tied to our political problems - so this area needs work as well. It seems we have so many problems to address: apathy, mindless consumption, policies that weaken our public institutions and destroy / sell our natural resources. I don't really care whether people are on the right or left of the political spectrum, but I do think that more sustained, and informed debate in this province is warranted!

Very cool! It is without much thought that many Stampeders chow down corn dogs and mini donuts that have little to do with agricultural history in Alberta (at least I think). Perhaps fried prairie oysters would be more appropriate!
Carrottop;) (which is actually a misnomer as it is carrot bottoms that are orange)
If anyone attends this lecture I would love to hear any bits of interest about the local Alberta food scene. I was just on the Calgary Stampede site and it is featuring new foods for 2008 that include deep-fried Coke and Taco in a bag, there's got to be more to it than this!
