If you haven't heard, Monday, October 24th is FOOD DAY! Let's get out there and show food how much we appreciate it. It's not a stretch-your-stomach pre-Thanksgivng. It's more of a Stomachs Across America which dovetails perfectly with the Occupy Wall Street campaign...Justice in our food system! Justice in our economic sector! National organizers want to transform the American diet. The more people seeking healthy, quality food, the more that policies will support a system that can supply it in a sustainable and healthy manor. Smell the groundswell!

Here's to today and to us taking the time to think about where our food comes from. When did we ever let such a basic human need at food get usurped by agribusiness & global markets? To putting our money where our mouth is and buying LOCAL. Happy Food Day, all!
