I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We want our communities to know what real food is.
When people say they prefer organic food, what they often seem to mean is they don't want their food tainted with pesticides and their meat shot full of hormones or antibiotics. Many object to the way a few companies - Monsanto is the most famous of them - control so many of the seeds we grow.
We must make organic and farm-raised costs more affordable. We need to come to a level where people who don't have a lot of money can afford it. If we could eat just fresh foods, it would be wonderful.
If we make it national policy that we will support small farmers the way we support agribusiness, we'll suddenly see it change in terms of the cost of organic food.
Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can't be let off so easily, for they are all farming by proxy.
If we as a society are willing to have a preference for organic food, the farmer can pass on the savings.
It's become more readily apparent that we need to be growing our own food and growing more things organically.
Provision as much pure and organic food as you can, and let the rest go by.
Every major food company now has an organic division. There's more capital going into organic agriculture than ever before.
We want kids in communities to know real food, and we want them to have a choice between real food and industrial food.
