I LIKE WHAT KEN KAILING IS SAYING HERE VERY MUCH

We ARE the new food movement!
Ken Kailing, November 26th, 2012

It is the message I have been writing here on the Plant Your Dream Blog:

The confusion centers on the “good food movement” being a truly grass-roots reformation. All the most significant changes are operating at the base, outside the mainstream media hype. And the players are little people–but there are many of us now, in fact more than the young, smart talking journalists can count. We are on the land, wherever we can find a place to plant or manage animals. We are on rooftops in cities and even on barges.

And we are “organic.” We are also larger commercial growers. We’re everywhere, selling directly through CSAs, and at farmer’s markets, and off the backs of pickups on roadways. We are also small grain cleaners and millers. And re-invented family meat markets. We’re food stands and restaurants and special kids lunch programs. We are everywhere, building our numbers for more than 70 years, all crying “down with Monsanto,” down with the factory food that is making us sick, on to recapturing our genuine choice of our food and right to know where it comes from and how it is produced and brought to our plate.

WE ARE THE NEW FOOD MOVEMENT. We are not Washington DC, not the factory farms or the corrupt academic institutions which support them, but just regular, independent thinking people. That is why, to some still addicted to bad food, we may go unnoticed. If you’re in a tavern, all you see are drinkers.

But to everyone determined to stay healthy and have healthy kids, and to people who care about the land and nature, and farm workers rights, and the proper humane treatment of animals, and the success of small business and stable, clean, healthy communities–we are right here in the open at the heart of the foundation of American Democracy. California’s GMO Labeling is not a turning point; it is simply another step along the long hard road of recovery of our food, our land, and our people.
