As I delved into our relationship to fermentation and bacteria, which food brings you into, fermentation especially, it completely revolutionized my understanding of human identity. You know youre only 10% human? Youre 90% microbes. Youre a super-organism. The first-person plural needs to be adopted by all of us. And its not trivial because . . . food can take us places we havent gone yet . . . the environment is not just out there, [gesturing with right hand upward] its passing through you and is part of you, and you have a wilderness here [gesturing with both hands to his own mid-torso] as well as one out there [gesturing with both hands upward, skyward]. So, I dont think were done in coming to terms with how food connects us to the world. ~ Michael Pollan via Alex Watts
