How would you feel if I told you I'd just eaten an organic chocolate betroot fudge brownie?
It was so good. SO GOOD.
I went to the Orange Grove Markets this morning just to check it out. Did some people watching, and ate brownie. Good times.
The markets are held at the public school opposite Rozelle hospital, near Lilyfield. They're farmers markets, specialising in organic food. However, I reckon there were more non-organic than organic stalls.
A few reflections:
-Healthy eating and concern for food standards is a very middle class thing. These types of markets are like a trendoid bubble, everyone with their jogger prams and hessian bags.
-Public school playgrounds are some of the only common land we have left to be 'communal' on.
-Markets are all about engendering a sense of community in a really fractured world, and it only partly works. It gives a sense of community, but doesn't actually bring people together as one might hope.
