I think this is a really good topic and hope you will stay on it. Couple of points.

In Vermont, where I hang out part of the time, there is a small revolution. In Montpelier, for example, there is a great food co-op, and elsewhere in the state, dating back to hippie days. A great benefit of this is that small growers and processors have an accessible market--due to small size and lack of bureaucracy--and there has been a proliferation of small businesses and great food innovations.

This will earn me boos. Having had more than one domestic arrangement it has been my observation that 80% of the food that is put on a child's plate goes down the disposal. See? I was a curmudgeon and a stingy SOB for mentioning that. Of course, that's nothing compared to the amount of food thrown out in Super Markets.

Somewhere I saw a new design for a field of vegetables which elevated the beds and allowed pickers to move along on a track in a sitting position instead of bending over and destroying their backs by the time they are thirty. I wanted to experiment with this but there is only so much one can get done in life.
