do what YOU can do and try to get others to follow your lead. Plant a garden. Eat a vegetarian dinner once a week (Meatless Mondays). Patronize local producers and small farmers. Join a CSA. Raise a few hens and feed them your scraps. When I survey the high hurdles to changing our food production system, it gets very discouraging. The obstacles seem insurmountable on a national level. But rather than say 'its hopeless' Im committed to doing what I can and hoping that others will do the same. Join me
