Farming as a Radical Political Statement
South Madison’s book discussion group for Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food had a small attendance on Saturday, but the discussion covered a variety of topics: from the economics of modern day farming to how our own parents and grandparents cooked, preserved and gardened, compared to how we do now. An interesting observation from a younger member of the group was how her friends who are going back to farms and farming today see it more as a radical political statement vs. just a lifestyle/livelihood choice.
