Hunt peck repeat

Corby Kummer gives a warning in the Thanksgiving edition of the NY Times – but it’s hard to know what to make of it really. Should we really be cut up about the fact that traditional American dishes might be sourced in Canada, over and above the fact that US agriculture is going to change big-time? That particular political argument seems irrelevant really.
More troubling is the hands-up-in-the-air attitude. Besides a cursory mention down at the bottom there’s no call to action or solution proffered. You’d think the author would at least throw in a mention of “food miles”.
Well Corby’s a senior editor at Atlantic Monthly so I’m sure he’s got more details than outlined here. I know this is a blog but no sense carving up the guy yet. I’ll have a search and let you know.
