There’s an interesting article about this on Slate today that argues that gardening isn’t a good way to get “free food,” which is a good point. But I think the author generalizes too much. Where you are and how and what you grow can make a big difference.

-Michael Pollan, "Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch," NYT Magazine, July 29, 2009
“Food offers us many opportunities to resist the culture of mass marketing and commodification. … We can merge appetite with activism and choose to involve ourselves in food as co-creators.”
