Couple that with the way that most people eat and don't take care of themselves, makes me feel sick. We need to take the economic cost of chronic disease, lost work days, and everything else related into every equation for sustainable eating. Eating poor quality food is obviously not sustainable -- who doesn't see that? Thank you for this post. Count me in as part of the group willing to fight for helping, healing and changing the system.

Sustainable eating and food should not shy away from the topic of economics. It should be linked inextricably from it, in fact. Great post. Absolutely spot on.
