Unless every single one of us radically alters our participation in the rapidly failing industrial food system, within the next few years we'll find our food prices spiking \u00a0and chaotic weather decimating the food distribution networks we have relied on. In the age of cheap and abundant refrigeration, we're losing our species' long relationship with live culture foods produced by fermentation. The health and nutrition of humanity is suffering from this relatively sudden break from ingesting bacteria responsible for regulating the energy metabolism of our bipedal bodies.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Extraenvironmentalist #23 <\/strong>we speak with food activist and author <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wildfermentation.com\/\">Sandor Katz<\/a>\u00a0about how to ferment the counterculture. \u00a0We discuss the philosophical underpinnings of live culture foods, \u00a0the historical role these foods have played through human history and share some\u00a0recipes\u00a0to get your hands dirty and your cabbage sauering.
