Local Food: No Elitist Plot
"I’m not a jingoist, but I’d prefer that more of my food came from America. It’d be even better, really, if most of it came from within a few hundred miles of where we live. We’d be more secure and better served, and our land would be better used. And I’d feel prouder, as if we had a food culture rather than a food fetish."
Mark Bittman writes in his New York Times article regarding local food supply, Global Trade along with examining the effects of The Farm Bill and encouraging a method for the new farm bill to serve us better, by encouraging more farmers to produce more staples.
