Wendell Berry “The Pleasure of Eating” an excerpt

"A significant part of the pleasure of eating is one's accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which food comes. The pleasure of eating, then, may be the best available standard of our health. Eating with the fullest pleasure -pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance- is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world. In this pleasure we experience and celebrate our dependence and our gratitude."

We're excited about the next episode of Food & the Wisconsin Idea! Join in Madison or via Zoom! "What Is Healthy Food, Really? Scientific & Community Views on Nutrition" Thursday, May 2, 2019 (Program 3:30pm, Social Hour 4:30pm) It’s hard to keep up with scientific reports on what foods are good for us, and frequently their findings contradict. Trendy diets come and go, while studies funded by commodity groups and trade associations can seem inherently biased. Complicating things further, we are all genetically and physiologically different, and our nutritional needs change over time. Are there are limits to what we can learn from the scientific method? If so, where else can we turn for guidance? We’ve assembled a panel of academic, professional and community voices who can help us explore the perennial question of what we should eat. We promise ample time for your questions and comments, and we hope you will join the conversation!
WLFN will be at the event "Where Mission Meets Advocacy" on Wednesday April 24! Hope to see you there! Hosted by UW-Madison Center for Community and Non-profit Studies See event info: https://sohe.wisc.edu/events/where-mission-meets-advocacy/
