What better day than Thanksgiving to celebrate our country's food rebels!

I'm talking about the growing movement of small farmers, food artisans,
local retailers, co-ops, community organizers, restaurateurs,
environmentalists, consumers and others -- perhaps including you. This
movement has spread the rich ideas of sustainability, organic, local control
and the Common Good from the fringes of our food economy into the
mainstream.

It began in earnest in the 1980s and 1990s as an "upchuck rebellion" --
ordinary folks rejecting the industrialized, chemicalized, corporatized and
globalized food system. Farmers wanted a more natural connection to the good
earth that they were working, just as consumers began demanding edibles that
were not saturated with pesticides, injected with antibiotics, ripened with
chemicals, dosed with artificial flavorings and otherwise tortured...
