A Note from The Boss:
Well Babb’s (more on her to come) demanded that I create a TV project that would connect people to the food they eat and how really simple it can be to feel better and do better each day without upsetting the basket! Given she is my Gail King, little naive me set out to create what she was wanting: inspiring programming that network TV would actually want to buy. But alas I forgot the key rule: “Crap is King”.
Essentially this means if I wanted to create a show surrounding a obese 9 year old whos liver is in failure due to the food she has been ingesting AND her Dad is too busy to pay attention as he runs a leather free, all vegan S&M house in the middle of a small Northwest town (causing most of the viewers to want to off themselves) well then lucky me…throw in some topless dancers and wammo - I’ve got a distribution deal! But to create a smart simple dialogue surrounding how mad as a hatter the industrial food thing has become and how we can navigate our way though it with the help of a glass of wine and smile on our face….well good luck!
So no whining…this is a call to a revolution! Eighteen months, many farmers, university professors, chefs and local food groups later I am convinced that people care. Even better, I am convinced that there are fantastic characters out there that have lived lives and stories that will make your hair stand on end, cause you to laugh uncontrollably and help you eat wonderfully delicious food with passion and all out joy!
Welcome Bloggers to the launch of Grow Local TV’s Bloggspot…the purpose of this spot is to introduce you to our test project and all of its pieces prior to our web-telivision site launch. We plan to pick your brain in the coming months, show you some specially selected bits and enter into discussions about how web television needs to work for you. After all…that’s the point!
Cheers ears!

Timing couldn't be better, just found out from my Doctor last week that I need to change my diet for health reasons, and then to top it off watched Food Inc on CBC last night - very scarey. Time to make some changes is right.
