Tomorrow is January 1st, 2012. It is also a Sunday, and I don't do blog posts on Sunday. So, I want to say Happy New Year! tonight, and tell you that I hope you have a safe and joyous celebration as we begin anew again.
A lot of people will go to bed hungry tonight, and won't really feel much like celebrating. I hope we can at least give a few fleeting thoughts to those folks who are less fortunate than those of us working on our computers and enjoying more of the good parts of a modern civilization. Let us try to make 2012 a year of hope and progress for people everywhere, even if we don't reach every hungry baby in a desperate mother's arms. Some progress is better than none.
If I still have good enough health in 2012 I promise to keep you posted on what I am able to learn about the various phases of the "New Food" that is coming down the pike. And my hope is that it will better enable you to determine what your role should be in the "new system." Are you an interested consumer? Activist? Researcher? Government employee? Nutritionist? Writer/journalist? Marketing director? Corporate officer? Small business owner? Student?
Whatever your position in life as of tonight, I'm sure you have some favorite food stories to tell and I would like to hear from you. Just email me (see profile), or leave a comment. I will always be interested in your thoughts and suggestions. Good night!
