Steve,
This article is great! These are just the sorts of considerations
that one
must mull over when making conscious purchases. Thanks for posting it! It
is like that one poster wrote - we must have all the informtion in order to
make the best decisions. I would add that we should respect each others'
decisions, and challenge them too (in a respectful way) when appropriate.

Set That Apricot Free
By PATRICK MARTINS
Shoppers at farmers markets in cities around the country might feel virtuous
because they're filling their baskets with eggs and chard and apples offered
by farmers within driving distance. Same goes for the city subscribers in
community supported agriculture programs, who buy shares in the production
of a nearby farm. And they're justified: they are helping change American
agriculture by supporting local farmers instead of agribusiness. Small
family farms are essential to guaranteeing the diversity and safety of our
food supply.
