food

Okay, barring some immediate world change resulting from yogic enlightenment, I'm betting money that the revolution is food. I spend nearly all my disposable income on food. My employer uses locally grown, organic produce, and I consume organic farmer's market produce almost exclusively.

At a friend's suggestion I just watched "The Future of Food". It's a play-it-now on Netflix for pc users. I cried twice and I still feel pretty petrified about the state of agriculture. In short, the world's food supply is being jeopardized by Monsanto, a multinational agri-corporation.

The film features a few stories about farmers being sued into bankruptcy by Monsanto after being "seeded" involuntarily by Monsanto's GMO crops (to date, this has happened to over 9,000 U.S. farmers). There's a whole host of other injustices and exploitation to boot.

Vote with your money, people!
