Do you ever think of "Farmer",who producing food for us....

Yes. I think abou this quite often. I especially think about it when I get some bad produce or some bad meat. It makes me wander where it came from and hos old it it was when i bought it too. I am thankful for the good items though.

When I was little and refuse to finish my meal, my parents used to remind me about those farmers in Indonesia. In Indonesia where I live, we primarily eat rice as our meal. Whenever there are still rice in my bowl, they'd say that the farmers would be crying if they know you're throwing away their good rice. Mom says that farmers choose the bad rice for themselves to east while the good ones are sold for us. I would forever be grateful to farmers.

Baluyadav-

Yes, all of the time. We buy local during the summer at the farmers market, and during the year we try to make sure we're buying things from MN growers. I think we should all be aware of where our food comes from and what goes into harvesting it. I think small gardens are great service learning projects for students to help them understand this line of work.

I also remind my children when my husband and I go out for seafood (I'm allergic but I take the husband out so he can enjoy his lobster and fish) how hard it is for these men/women who catch our seafood. My husband also reminds them, as both of us have seen the program "Deadliest Catch" and understand just how dangerous it is for these people who bring us a luxury in our life.
