Are we on the cusp of a food revolution? I definitely think so, but then like most of us, we are working to create it / sustain it / add to it -- depending on the day.

But we are not alone in thinking this. This week the NY Times cited the revolution that is taking place in the way people think about and buy their food.

Anyone going into a bookstore, or perusing through the newspaper or their favourite news website will find it difficult to avoid food. Books are top of the bestseller lists and even the techies at Wired magazine are so into food that they devoted a whole special issue to it last year!

When ears of corn trump iPods, you know something is up.

The challenge is taking this zeitgeist and transforming it into real change -- not just ideas and media talk, but true actions. That is a revolution.
