Every meal is a living chain of relationships.
Before you eat it, know it.
Aware of My Food follows the journeys behind everyday ingredients—seed, soil, labor, transport, culture, table—exactly as far as the evidence allows, and no further. No invented farms. No diet shame. No cure-all claims.
Evidence before story

Verified
Directly supported by an appropriate, accessible source.
Reported
Attributed to an identified source but not independently confirmed.
Inferred
A reasoned estimate or interpretation, clearly labeled.
Unknown
The evidence does not establish the answer—and we say so.
