A few weeks ago I posted an article about eating local and fresh. Today, I give you another reason to pay more attention to what you're eating and where it comes from.

This week, we were lucky enough to chat with Oysterologist (yes, that's his real title) Daniel Notkin.

Buckle your seatbelts, folks, because you're about to take a crash course in Oyster 101 with a man who's seriously passionate about these delicacies of the sea.

Do people give much thought to where their food comes from? Until recently, I know I didn't. That's why when I attended Hellmann's Eat Fresh, Eat Local conference; I was surprised by what I learned.

When you were younger, did your mother ever tell you it was rude to look in other people's fridges? Ours too. Which is why it feels oh-so-taboo to take a peek at You Are What You Eat, a photo essay by Mark Menjivar for GOOD Magazine which provides a glimpse into people's fridges, lives, and maybe even into their (shriveled cabbage) soul...

This weekend, nine people whose blogs focus on local food in one way or another, met in Toronto to discuss Hellmann's Eat Real, Eat Fresh movement.

What happens when you gather the most influential food bloggers across the country? You get a weekend of good conversation, loads of cool new insights, and some great laughs.
