  We have a solar oven and it is the easiest summer cooking ever.  If you can make it in a crock pot, you can make it in a solar oven.  Food is ready when you get home and the house does not get hot for it AND you lower your environmental impacts with fuel that falls for free from the sky. Roasted or steamed veggies, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, casseroles, bread pudding, stews, rice...you get the idea.  We have one that has 2 pots-one for the grains and one for the main dish. Tonight, for example is chili over rice, with a side of the corn fritters from this article-thanks!

  "A massive market for organics, local, sustainable now exists - so its disingenuous to say there is a food system problem. "

  This is not true everywhere!  Even going to my hometown just 40 minutes East of our lovely and abundant Ithaca NY, means taking our own food if we want to eat well.  Ventures into the local grocery stores reveal the long arm of the industrial ag market, where not a single piece of local, organic food can be found.

  Well put

  I have lived in France and Sweden in areas where the infrastructure is definitely more geared towards mixed use transportation.  People of all ages biked to school, work, play on amazingly well maintained and lit bike/walking paths.

  I wonder

  These 2 are very inspirational. I am curious to know if they looked beyond cultivated produce/food.  There is a veritable bounty of native/wild edible perennial foods everywhere in natural ecosystems.  And you can re-create these types of ecosystems in your own space following the ideas of agroforestry and some good guide books.  
  Still reminiscing on the delights of a colt's foot saute.
