Starting June 4th, 2011 Kate and I (John) started riding our bikes from New York City. We will be heading West across the United States to Seattle. From there we travel South to LA and get on a ship or a plane to New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, through the Middle East and into Europe. The whole trip will probably take over 2 years.
What we are looking to do is figure out how good food is produced, and why people should choose it over “conventionally produced” food. We want to help bridge the gap between the passionate farmer and the nervous but open-minded consumer.
We will also be promoting good food and healthy lifestyles. We are hoping that our trip and the efforts we are making will encourage people to think twice about what they put on their plate and into their mouths. Food related diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, are growing epidemics in the world and particularly in the United States. We as a global community need to take whatever steps we can to combat them.
Another goal is to document and share the differences in food production and farming techniques around the world.
