Everything good is bad for you, again.

This keeps happening: now it turns out that eating quinoa is roughly as bad as barbecueing bald eagles.

It seems like no matter what you do, whenever the strong touch the weak, the weak suffer. Sometimes I think there is no point in ever trying to do anything good in the world.

Yeah there is, it just the road is bumpier than it use to be.

The moral here is eat a local as possible ... I say that as we have blueberries from Chile in the fridge ....

Yeah, there's always a need for balance in things. It's good that they have something to export but should feed themselves first.
Also it's good that we can import exotics but we should eat close to home for the most part. There's that "100 Mile Diet" concept that some people are doing now. It's good. In a place like Vancouver there's a huge amount of types of food grown around here so it's a varied diet.
I have a dietician friend who was asked about açai and he said it was good and had lots of antioxidants but so does stuff that grows outside your front door. There's not need to import something from across the globe for it's special nutritional uses if that's the motive.
The food industry has these fads and "superfoods" that they market. For awhile there it was blueberries and the price was high so lots of BC farmers pulled out whatever they had been growing and planted them. Now there's a glut in the market so the price dropped and they're now pulling out the blueberry bushes to plant something else.
