Seems like local, healthy food is a recurring theme in my blog.  This Boston Globe article about a must see movie inspired me to write again!

When the movie was shown to Obama's Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, his response was that the bottom line was that to change the system, we need a movement. We need people out there demanding that change. Producer and Director, Robert Kenner said "I can only hope this film contributes to this demand, that instead of a farm bill it turns into a food bill."

So get on the band wagon...eat local, spend the extra money for organic produce (preferably local), go to farmer's markets this summer.  There is a window for serious change right now.  The Obama's have an organic garden on the White House Lawn!  We can't continue to have our food system run by corporate interests that don't have the long term health of their customers in mind. 

Take a look at the long lists of ingredients in any prepared foods you are thinking about buying and choose those that have the names you recognize and I don't mean corn syrup...

Happy eating this summer when there is a surplus of fabulous healthy food available locally!! And if you feel motivated buy extra and freeze or can it for winter use!
