What Can You Do?
Thanks to Stephen Dickter for forwarding this You Tube video. It's almost 20 minutes long, and I had to persevere to about minute eight to begin to see the point. But it's a powerful point and you need those eight minutes to get the full impact.
With the complacency of our government in these issues, it will be up to us, the consumers, the citizens, the afflicted, to change what we do and how we do it to make changes in the way our country does business. We will bear the cost of higher prices for food, but that will be offset by the drop of medical bills we will need to spend in the future.
This is a powerful video that brings it down to 'sippy cups' and 'bowls of cereal.' Her facts are eye opening and it's worth the few minutes to watch.

This is great. I just spent a weekend talking to around 700 kids and a few hundred adults about local food production, sustainability, worms and microorganisms. I saw "the politics of happiness" and "home" and now this... I am more committed than ever to finding a local sustainable solution.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mark, after watching this video, I drove over Santa Monica's Cooportunity and committed to only buy organic milk, cheese and fruit - I spent almost $7 on a gallon of milk, vs. the $2 at Trader Joe's, but I'm not going back! We gotta make a stand - for ourselves and those who come after us!
