Produced and recorded in the studios of Kootenay Co-op Radio in Nelson, British Columbia, We have come a long way in a short amount of time from the age when our days were filled hunting and gathering our sustenance. Conveniences now abound, it has become increasingly possible to put food into our body without barely raising a finger or an eyebrow. This lifestyle of convenience leaves very little time to reflect on the history behind the food we purchase and the impact these purchases have on ourselves, communities, and the well-being of this planet. With food occupying such a significant part of our lives, understanding the implications of our food choices can create a real sense of empowerment and self-determination. Deconstructing Dinner has been created to dispense and discuss current food issues. The program assists listeners in making more educated choices when purchasing food either for the kitchen or at restaurants.
