I have always believed in the social power of food. Food brings people together, whether we are talking at the level of communities or to go along with the mingling of friends. I was with family the other day, having various discussions until pretty late at night, over trays of fruit. Various forms, all ready to eat. And what wrong can come from overeating of fruit? perhaps over the long run, some harm will come out of excess of anything, but we are typically deprived of fresh produce in our industrialized lives. Here was a chance for a collective packing of minerals and vitamins, along with some green tea and arabic coffee. A ritual that is one I am quite proud of, one that I truly enjoy. Cornucopia symbolizes the bountiful, the plentiful; this came pretty close.
