Dawn, this was a fantastic writing....
I must say I agree with everything you said, and I am willing to pay more for the benefit of having this type of produce in my kitchen
Now, another side of me, would like to know WITHOUT ANY BIAS, what is the answer for feeding a completely overpopulated planet. LIke it or not, we are way too many. Farmers market and eating locally works on certain environments, but I wonder to which extent it can address the serious problem of having to sustain a species that clearly went beyond manageable numbers, nutritionally speaking.. smileys/wink.gif
I should probably try to read more and learn more. My main problem is that there's only 24 hours in the day and I don't seem to be able to do 1/3 of what I'd like to :-0))))
