Food For Obama

As Barack Obama becomes President of these fair United States, demands are high for real substance to his mantra of change change change.

This is a chance, for once, for a favorable political situation to help restore our essential heritage to the land.
Christopher Cook of the Christian Science Monitor spells is out clearly: "As Mr. Obama weighs a massive stimulus package, he should include new funding streams that promote sustainable food - to build up alternatives such as farmer's markets, local "foodshed" programs that promote consumption of local produce, and farm-to-institution projects that encourage schools, hospitals, and other large buyers to purchase local organic foods when possible."

We stand at a fork in the road. The ascension of Mr. Obama, and all he claims to represent, may actually increase mainstream acceptance of organic, natural, local production of foodstuffs.
