Front Cover Redux
Dear Communities,
I particularly liked the international flavor of the recent issue, featuring communities from Ireland, Italy, and Portugal. Each author was realistic about the struggles, dangers, and successes of each enterprise. I also liked particular articles-by AIyson Ewald ("Celebrating the Food Revolution"), Mitchell Johnson ("Stocking our Community Pantry"), Sara McCamant ("Eating Local") , Leila Dregger ("Gardening in the Alentejo"), and Stan Hildebrand ("Food, Glorious Food!"). Lots of good stuff to read, and over too soon!
I had to laugh at the front cover, as it is sooo similar to a controversial cover from 1994 (see below), which also featured a smudge-faced little blonde girl. I had interpreted that cover as a kid who had been having a lot of fun, but others claimed it encouraged the "dirty hippie parents who can't keep their kid clean" image. I hope this cover gets a more favorable response!
