RedditWith a nod to the wonderful Nation magazine feature conceived by Walter Mosley, here's a list of ten simple things you can do to help change our food system for the better, drawn largely from the Hungry for Change campaign.
1. Stop drinking soda.
(Great way to lose weight too.)
2. Eat at home more than you eat out.
(Save money; eat healthier.)
3. Support the passage of laws requiring chain restaurants to post calorie information on menus and menu boards. (Knowledge is power.)
4. Help get schools to stop selling junk food. (Our tastes start young.)
5. Go without meat at least one day each week -- Meatless Mondays? (Single best way to help the environment is to become a vegetarian.)
6. Buy organic and/or sustainable foods without pesticides. (Chemicals kill.)
7. Support family farms by shopping at farmer's markets and CSAs. (Take market share away from the corporate sector.)
8. Know where your food comes from. Read labels! (Knowledge is power #2.)
9. Tell Congress that food safety is critical. (Regulations need to be expanded.)
10. Demand job protections for workers along each point of the food processing chain. (Labor rights are a critical part of food safety.)
I know I've missed lots of stuff. Add your own ideas in the comments field below.

Curious, Peter, on
"2. Eat at home more than you eat out. (Save money; eat healthier.)"
Obviously true but...
given our service economy, if done on a massive scale (as you'd need to effect "change")...
wouldn't that unemploy an awful lot of food servers, hosts/hostesses, cooks, and dishwashers?

5. Go without meat at least one day each week -- Meatless Mondays? (Single best way to help the environment is to become a vegetarian.)
Peter I would like to know a little more about what you mean here? If I eat only game (elk, deer, fish, fowl) that I harvest how does that harm the environment? What if I own a half cow with some friends that is grown all organically?
How is the single best way to help the enviroment becomming a vegetarian? That seems a bit overstated and lacking nuance. If most of meat is comming from feed lots, packed with hormones and using GM corn, I could agree. But I can avoid those thing with out sacrificing my happiness and becoming a vegetarian.

I think ol' PETER is dipping a bit into the "We vegetarians are more moral than you carnivores" trough.
As relates to "the environment", as much as urban liberals and anti-hunting advocates desire, by NOT hunting deer, we're looking at a massive population spike and places like New Jersey offering incentives to get people to COME to NJ to cull the herds.
It may sound like NRA pap, but it's true. The environment is actually made WORSE (destroyed tree seedlings, farms ((even organic ones)) having crop losses, over-feeding to the detriment of other species) by NOT hunting deer.
And if you hunt them, you should eat them.

Posted by Mask at 07/13/2009 @ 12:35pm Maybe so. I stopped eating cows for a while in college because I hated the effects that grazing on public land had on the ecosystems. There are ways to choose the meat you eat. Being a vegatarian does not inherently benefit the environment. Large farms can use a ton of pesticides, over utilize water, etc. Just eating plants is not nessarily better.
The argument that eating animals is morally wrong, is just silly. Because as we all know if animals were not meant to be eaten they would not have been made out of meat. :D

#3....PETER didn't say FEDERAL laws, so why would you have a problem with States passing such laws?

C'mon Bench! If we take a walk in the woods it shouldn't be like a ride at Disneyland should it? Where everything is all safe and secure.
We should be able to experience the feeling of being hunted and stalked. It is good for us to shed the hubris of our existence and identify with the very real prospect of being eaten, digested and turned to scat.
Makes one feel alive. The more mountain lions the better. As far as I am concerned.

And seemingly unconcerned about the very likely event that children are just now being eaten by a world out of control.
What sort of future would you rather leave the children?

Is the kind of "Change" missing from from our kids' pockets, from the WSJ:
By JOHN D. MCKINNON
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. federal budget deficit broke through the $1 trillion mark in June, potentially complicating the Obama administration's efforts to revive the economy and enact its longer-term policy agenda.
The U.S. Treasury Department on Monday said the government's annual deficit reached almost $1.1 trillion by the end of June, a once-unthinkable level that could threaten any nascent economic recovery by undermining the dollar and driving up interest rates....

Anyone remember Lee Major as "The 6 Million Dollar Man"?

Great point! I assume most every state has a similar program and its an excellent way to supplement the diets of the homeless and poor while aiding the "feeding the hungy" charities that always need substative protein for those they serve and help!
With all the overpopulation of game animals in many states it could be a boon to all!

By far, the most common causes of food poisoning has little to do with the food per-say, it has to do with improper preparation of said food - ie, leaving the tuna salad out too long. Eating stuff that has turned green that isn't normally green. Not washing your hands after using the bathroom. In other words, process.

School lunches in New Orleans are always white, starchy, full of meat and preservatives, and come with very little nutritional worth. No wonder Louisiana is ranked the least healthy state -- we program our kids from a young age to eat the equivalent of pure garbage every single day.

Posted by Mask at 07/14/2009 @ 11:34am
I like how, on the one hand, frosty zoom says "things change" (responding to mask's question about what happens to the food service workers if we eat at home) but on the other hand he says "bring back the wolves" (wanting to return to how something used to be).
also, it's a false premise for vegetarians to say carnivores aren't as happy as they are b/c carnivores eat fast food burgers, etc. I eat meat, almost always at home, and it's usually chicken, less often lean steak or ground chuck, and even less often pork. Meat is not bad for you. Eating 1000 calorie fast-food meals that leave you hungry an hour later is bad for you, but the choices aren't limited to being a vegetarian or eating fast-food.

"the coyotes have brought themselves back.
They never left. Not a pinnacle predator like the wolf. $35 a winter pelt keeps them in check.
"and the bears are coming, too."
Bears are omnivores and tend not to be a threat to livestock .
Oklahoma will have it's first bear hunting season this year. 400 pound plus bears available to make into rugs.
"just a matter of time."

does it have anything to do with the "god" antisocialist focuses a lot of his attention on?

explain to me what a soul is frosty

The Soul is a trendy five-door "urban crossover vehicle" based on the Kia Rio. The styling, standard equipment, value price, and overall usefulness, all contribute to make the Soul very appealing, especially to the youth market.
Hope that helps.

spending lots of free time with strangers on the internet must be a "soulful" activity

and they're not strangers.
strange, yes; strangers, no.
