I can think of several places in LA right now that have adopted this ideology as corner stone of their business (www.greensupsalad.com, www.flatirontruck.com- LA Food Truck, www.abbotshabit.com, etc). If the food we eat is presented with a history and conviction, it instills meaning. I like eating organic/ healthy local foods and getting to understand the value in it. Eating without meaning, stifles our ability to establish a cultural relationship with foods, making it more of an act then an experience.
