  Great Point

  About everyone at the USDA not being of the same mind.  At the end of the day we need to change consumer demand and the business activity will follow.

  Prove It

  I'm not yet convinced that eating locally and sustainably is not economically viable.  If the objective is to eat 3800 calories a day, which many quote as the national average, then maybe it's impossible for the working poor to feed themselves at the farmers market.  If the objective is 2200 calories a day, it becomes more economically viable.  Also, with scale prices will fall.  So some of it is just a "chicken and the egg" discussion that needs to be, and is being, seriously investigated by people who are passionate about the idea.  Slow Food is just one example of the collaboration toward that end.On Ruminations on food, class, and Carlo Petrini posted 2 years, 5 months ago 17 Responses
