we are what we eat..

Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.
--Jean Anthelme (1755-1826) French Lawyer and Politian

While reading this quote I couldn't help to think about how true it really is. I think it's really cool how food defines who we are as a culture and how it always seems to take us back to our roots. Think about it..

This photo was taken at a little farmers market in the ZERO red light town of Cana, Virginia. Cana is located along highway 52, right close to the Blueridge Parkway, just outside of Mount Airy, North Carolina and not far from Fancy Gap, Virginia. Originally, I drove right past this little place but the line of tomatoes out front pulled me right back to grab a quick shot.
