Episode notes

A lot of people talk about doing these things is because you get better food. And sometimes that's the case. A fish that you catch yourself is better than fish, as long as you treat it properly. Even when i lived on the upper west side manhattan, we bought our fish at ciderella - which is one of the top fish markets in the country. It was only after i had done it for a number of years that i found my ideas about food shifting.

What did author and Washington Post columnist Tamar Haspel learn from her quest to eat at least one thing she'd grown, caught, or killed every day? For starters, that just-caught fish always tastes better (unless you've caught a false albacore). That all it takes to build a coop is the will and the right power tools, and that when it comes to homegrown produce, you've got none until you've got way too much. But most of all, she tells EconTalk's Russ Roberts in talking about her book To Boldly Grow, she learned that figuring stuff out to solve problems is more delicious than the most decadent of desserts.
