Jenny McGruther: A Real Food Revival

Though it's one of the richest nations in the world, the United States has become synonymous with unhealthy eating and obesity. In this talk from Wanderlust's Speakeasy, Jenny McGruther, real food advocate and author of Nourished Kitchen, explores our country's difficult relationship with food and how we got to now. Generations ago, new immigrants brought with them traditions of seasonal eating, fermentation, and farm-fresh produce. As time went on, industrialization and war necessitated the use of prepackaged foods for soldiers and trade purposes. Yet after the war ended, these prepackaged foods continued to be celebrated for their convenience and modernity. From-scratch cooking unfortunately fell out of fashion. Now in the present day, we are confronted with the fact that fresh, live, and local will always be the healthiest choice. Jennifer McGruther has made it her mission to bring real food to the masses. After realizing her town lacked a farmers market, she and her husband united local families and the surrounding communities to create one.From Wanderlust Squaw Valley 2015.
