You ask Braun about her choice of 'post-political path'. Obviously shifting from holding public office to running a food business is a big change in lifestyle, but it doesn't sound like Braun has moved beyond politics by any means!
The aims of Ambassador Organics descibed above, including making sustainably-farmed food accessible to low-income or minority groups and encouraging 'human-scale farming', are political through and through.
Last year around this time Grist pointed out an article in the Economist which explored the political power of food purchasing behaviour - I think that recognition of the power of choosing non-conventionally produced foods is vital in widening their appeal.
Your politics aren't just for exercise at the ballot box, every time we put food in our mouths we're making political choices.

Ms. Braun I admire what you are doing, but Wal-Mart is cheating at organics. They are not following the organic standards and are buying people at the USDA to put through their products to acquire the organic label. Go to http://www.cornucopia.com and see where they have cheated in their use of Aurora "organic" milk. I will not pat Wal-Mart on the back until they clean up their act.
