About a year ago, I became convinced that grain was being woefully neglected in the local and artisanal food movement. Maybe it was just bad timing, in that the the food movement really took off at the same time that anti-carb/gluten sentiment became the new fashionable dietary dogma. It could also be that grain lacks the romance of other food stuffs (like artisanal cheeses and pickles) and is simply overlooked, as if it were the water of food. Sad to see this vital and ancient part of human civilization diminished to all-purpose mendacity. Needless to say, I was happy to find The Grain Divide documentary (not yet out) today. Can’t wait to see the whole documentary.
There is an extended preview on the The Grain Divide website.
