Raw Kale Salad

MICHAEL KELLY and his merry team of GIYers are definitely ‘ change makers’. Similar to Slow Food, this movement was born out of frustration and indignation. 

This time it wasn’t the appearance of the of the golden arches in Piazza del Spagna in Rome that sparked the outrage , it was a bulb of garlic ‘all the way from China’ that set Michael Kelly thinking, “what the hell’s going on”?

So he started a quiet revolution which continues to gather momentum — GIY, an achronym for Grow it Yourself, has fed into a deep hunger in a growing number of people (pardon the pun) who want to wrest back some control over the food they eat from the small numbers of multinationals who control all food choices.
