An excerpt from the article, entitled “Ethical Eating”:

Eating seasonally creates “a child-like anticipation,” she [Kelly] says. “Peaches were in season, and then they were gone. I missed them dearly, but then apples came along and they were the best apples.” Her desire to eat food at its local peak is only one strand of Kelly’s approach to food.
