To celebrate our third day of eating local I'll recount for you a bit of our dinner table conversation.
Me: Dr. Brian Fagan, professor of anthropology and well regarded lecturer on human prehistory, says that says that far-flung trading networks were a hallmark of early civilizations. Ten thousand years ago those networks already spanned continents. If humans could do all that back then I think I should be able to put pepper on my vegetables.
Sarah: Mmm.
I didn't get the pepper. Then again, the vegetables didn't really need it.
