Stolen from my facebook, because I think it's important, and someone irritated me tonight.

I know people today don't have a "link" to their food. I know some people think meat magically shows up at a grocery store. I know people who want to complain about the world and food pathways. That's cool. But here's the thing. You have to be the change you want to see. If you don't like what Big Ag is doing (I sure as hell don't), if you don't like that's not subjected to the same laws as other companies, if you don't like the way the animals in it are treated, or the fact that your carrots also have peach DNA in it, here's what you do: STOP SUPPORTING THEM. Buy local. Buy fresh. Buy from people who put their cows out on grass, don't feed them grain and most importantly OTHER COWS AND SHIT LIKE CHEWING GUM AND ALUMINUM FOIL. Don't buy from people who put 10 chickens in a 3x4 cage for the duration of their lives. Buy from people who know where your food came from, how it was raised, how it was treated, and be a part of your own food pathway. You can grow your own veggies, no matter what kind of life you live, or where you live. Gardening is therapeutic and rebellious. Growing your own food is one of the best things you could ever do for yourself, your family, and the world around you. Stop supporting Big Ag, support yourself and your community instead.
