On Friday, I picked Jocelyn up from the train station and we checked into our hotel. It was nice, so I'm glad we got our money's worth. That night, we decided to take the Lakefront Brewery tour, which was a blast. I've always wanted to do it, but never got around to it. Their pumpkin ale is amazing...I really want to pick some up. For dinner, we went to my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee, Cubanitas.
Farm Aid on Saturday was great! The food was good, as was the music. It was, by far, the most chill, relaxed concert I've ever been to. Since attending and hearing about "The Good Food" movement, it really just emphasized what I already believe: we shouldn't have to pay more for food that hasn't been fucked around with. Don't treat the animals with antibiotics and hormones...don't "wash" the meat with ammonia...don't flavor it with additives to make it taste like it was intended to in the first place. Food is a basic building block of life. We'll die without it. It's something we all need. But, the food industry has got everything so backward. Everyone just wants to make a quick buck and they'll do whatever it takes to get it. I said before that I really am not into the whole "organic food" movement, but I'm not all for treating food with additives, preservatives and chemicals, either. This really just makes me want to only buy "whole foods" when I go grocery shopping...stuff that's not processed. Convenience foods are nice and everything, but I don't want to eat a bunch of chemicals. Besides, I love making meals entirely from scratch...they taste better, too!Always,
