The Rise of Foodie Class Warfare

I am working with another publication to publish an article with a similar theme so I'm pulling the plug on this post until that one is published. Sorry about that. Stay tuned

Very interesting. It is definitely something to think about - the fact that sustainable food seems to belong to the rich. I'm not sure what the answer is to make it accessible to all . . . maybe those of us who are rich need to share more??? Or maybe it is to remove food power from corporate America - where profits are huge? A blog post I read the other day said this, "But . . . what about those who can’t afford to shop at farmer’s markets? We need to remember that if this local food movement stops with us, it stops. We need to teach people of all income levels forgotten food skills like keeping and processing backyard chickens, or baking bread, or growing some of their own food. We need to both lead by buying example and volunteer our time to communicate, to educate, to share." http://www.sustainableeats.com/2011/10/25/a-funny-thing-happened-last-night/
