yard to table

More on food as a social issue...

I get such a kick from having all kinds of food growing all around us here... Here are some shots from the trees in our yard. I probably eat two apple bananas and an avocado every day.

The apple bananas are incredibly delicious and nutritious, they are also quite darling. The banana tree isn't really a tree at all, it's just a very large herb. Each stalk only fruits once and then it falls over.


Avocados are such a nutritionally rich food, and they also help with nutrient absorption. They get a bad rap in our calorie conscious society, but as far as I'm concerned the more avos the better.
