Intro

So here is my first blog post. I think that it is quite apropos that I decide to begin a blog about appreciating good food, good beer, good drinks, and local and fresh ingredients, as well as a sort of journey into doing all of the above conscientiously and consciously, one week before the news comes down about AB-InBev acquiring Goose Island Brewing.

I will tell you off the bat that what inspired this blog was the movie Food, Inc. I have always been against the vegetarian movement as I am a believer in evolution, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, and the food chain-For the record, I am still not a vegetarian; though close. However, seeing what corporate America has done to our food supply, and how inhumane it is for us as consumers, I am now shopping 100% organic, have planted 180 cubic feet in a raised garden in the back of my (very) small house, and have not purchased a cut of meet in two months.

So there is the intro, this blog is about my journey down this unfamiliar path-grew up on steak once a week, and red meet three times a week-and the problems and successes along the way.
