Eat Wild

As the 2011 survey of ACF Chefs will attest, eating hyper local sustainable foods is hot in dining trends these days.  The main reason is that the American consumer is making healthier choices when it comes to eating at home and away.  As such our students need to be up on how to cater to the needs of changing consumer tastes and provide a menu to meet it. 

To that end, I discovered http://www.eatwild.com/ which is a website to find local purveryors of grass-fed meat, eggs, and dairy in all 50 states.  In other words, those who are not into CAFO's and the inhumane treatment their animals endure and the pollution that results so we can keep meat and egg prices artificially low.  So check it out and share with students if you like or perhaps even move to change purchasing practices for labs and public dining outlets, if your school runs one.
