Quoted From The Earth-Friendly Kitchen Preface:
…One of the great problems of American life in the last few years of the 20th century is that, while development and progress have brought us nearly unheard of affluence, they have also posed a terrible threat to our basic treasure, the Earth.
…In a short period of time, terms like global warming, greenhouse effect and tropical deforestation have become commonplace in our language. Even school children understand the ecological crisis on a surprisingly sophisticated level. Recycling has now become a favorite weekend sport for American families.
…Perhaps the approach of a new century has helped prompt the rapid growth of this green revolution. Or perhaps it is, hopefully not too late, the realization that Mother Earth is not necessarily immortal --- certainly not without the loving care of us all.
…In the United States, no group of people is more interested in protecting the fragile balance of the earth’s ecology than those of us who buy and prepare most of the food that America eats. After all, feeding people is the most basic kind of nurturing – and isn’t that what environmental protection really is all about?
…Anyone who’s spent much time in the supermarket has questioned the processes that bring us tomatoes way out of season. We’ve wondered at the mountains of plastic and aluminum that result from even a quick trip to the store. And we’ve seen such delicacies as fresh salmon disappear from the store after a major oil spill and piles of Alar-sprayed apples go uneaten.
…Daily we become more educated about – and more alarmed by – what decades of neglect and abuse have done to the Earth. Most of us have made at least some effort to do our part.
…At the same time, the realities of life leave us little enough time to plan meals, shop, prepare food and eat. We have little time for recycling or reading about the ins and outs of organic gardening. We want to help, but for many of us, time is a real problem.
…In this book we’ve brought together your concerns about lifestyle and the environment. We include recipes and menu ideas that are simple to prepare in a small amount of time, yet are earth-friendly choices. You can avoid prepackaged goods, greasy styrofoamed fast food and unhealthy and environmentally costly meals. We think you’ll find these are an agreeable way to live conveniently while you do something nice for the planet.
