Excellent article, and hopefully read widely. We need more people to speak up about local food issues – land appropriations, resource management, food labeling… it all applies, and it is all at risk unless we voice our concerns.

If you have ways to reach out to many who feel as you do, please read up on the Farm Bill, the anti-consumer labeling actions (Kansas, Ohio… pro-CAFO, pro-rBST/rBGH), and other legislation brought on by BIG FARM and BIG OIL. We need your attention and input, and so do your state representatives.

Protect your local food resources – get informed and speak your mind.

This is a very interesting, well researched article. It is an eye opening piece of literature.

We all think that organic meals only exist on the west coast, not in middle America where no one has heard of Whole Foods. But this article points out that it does and even thrives.

thanks for the vast wealth of information.

Layla,
Thank you so much for doing such a comprehensive blog on the sustainable food scene in North East Kansas. If we can make it fly in the heartland I think this movement has the strong wings it needs for the long trip ahead.

I agree, Layla – there is a wake up call going across America and people are finally beginning to ask where their food is coming from. Another fairly new resource is Find the Farmer, recently written about in the NYTimes http://bit.ly/Ef76Q . It’s a start, but I think you will be seeing more sites like this who help you learn more about your food and how it was produced.
