As long as we have OTA member sellouts like Whole Foods and Stonyfield Farms, you can bet they will say "we support organics" and then again actively continue to weaken standards for the sake of increasing profits while greenwashing consumers, there won't be any changes.

The changes you will notice is your waistline and insurance premiums: both will get bigger because the American food system is based on opportunistic greed and not sustainability.

If it were based on sustainability we would have organic food for all. There's no two ways about it.

My point is this: do not wait to start growing your own food and supporting your local organic farmers. The food system will collapse at some point in the future. There's nothing we can do about that. But we can start recreating the most basic economic infrastructure that all societies share: food.

Currently the food infrastructure is in shambles - how do I know? Everywhere I look I see fat people, including myself. I'm no longer thin; but I'm also no longer going to leave my health and food to chance. That's why I started growing my own and supporting local organic farmers.

It turns out that doing so is the highest form of democracy one can practice. It will clean the land, air and water faster than anything the politically wracked food system can think of.

Lastly, it pays to remember: you are what you eat. Two researchers at CU-Boulder (Colorado) proved that everything you eat affects every cell in your body - right down to the mitochondria - the engines that controls all cell life!! Don't put off starting your own garden any longer. Don't rationalize anymore about the choices you make.
