Expensive smensive, is it really that good?

Expensive smensive, money schmoney...the more you spend the better it tastes?! Right? I don't know I haven't had the chance to taste it yet (don't judge). But, don't we all think it? What guides us to say that something is better just because it's way more expensive. I had a similar experience last night where the person I was with decided that the more expensive wine was the best, but was it? That's up for debate...

Anyway, Benjamin Wallace tackles this exact issue in the video below. Aptly titled: The price of happiness.

Changing perspectives through foodscapes

My friend recently told me about starting a food garden in her local community. I support the idea completely but the practicality of such a project seemed tricky. But to my surprise it seems that it may be feasible. Sort of: If they can do so can we. 

Pam Warhurst explains how she is doing it in her community and how others around the world is doing the same.

Here's to hoping more communities in South Africa will take up the banner of growing their own food and in the end feed their own.
