I was discussing this beef article:
http://www.alternet.org/environment/144904/yummy!_ammonia-treated_pink_slime_now_in_most_u.s._ground_beef?page=1
with my husband this morning and he made a really good point. If you buy or choose not to buy from a major food/retail chain, you are a fraction of a penny in their eyes. If you buy or choose not to buy from your local farmer you are $7 a pound, a $26/mo. CSA share, and, over time, much, much more! The source you can look in the eye will always be the source that cares more - about your business, about the quality of the product, about you. When we shopped at Harvest Market the other day my son was much more interested in the process than he usually is when I grocery shop and when we left he said, "Those people were friendlier than the people at the other groceries." What are you worth? Are you worth a fraction of a cent or much, much more?
