Quote of the day: Our food, from lab or garden?

"Our foods are grown more in laboratories then cooked in kitchens." Unknown, quoted by Forrest Johnson, "Industrial foods and farming methods and your brain", Reader Weekly, 2012-05-17.

My wife and I like to think we eat mostly natural foods, but we do eat lots of stuff that is not right out of the ground or off the hoof.  But a lot of it is processed - wine, oil, cheese, pretzels, chocolate.  At least what we buy has been processed in centuries-old traditional methods; you might say it was "cooked" in somebody's kitchen.
