SUMMARY:Connecting Local People with Local Food
DESCRIPTION:Whats Wrong with the grocery store?\nThe box stores don’t care about you or your family. They only care about profits. The system is built for corporations not for community. High prices for toxic food. Reliant on fragile global system\nThe food system is fragile.\nDominant agricultural traders (the “Big Five”) increasingly shift from physical trade to financial speculation- with up to 75% of their income tied to financial markets rather than physical distribution. By outsourcing all of our food to these giant corporations we gamble on them to provide for us. When we don’t matter to them at all. Not to even mention the global transportation industry or how toxic their food is grown on global scales\nBenefits of local food\nHigher nutrient retention\, as soon as food is harvested it loses nutrients. Reduced contamination risks\, Shorter supply chains mean fewer points of handling. Supports local family farms\, keeping prosperity in our community and out of corporate hands\nWe have to start somewhere\nI don’t pretend to have all the answers\, but I have some ideas\, so join me and anyone else who wants change on\nSaturday November 14th @ 10:00 a.m. at the Walnut Public Library: Let’s come together to get our local\ncommunity stable and thriving.
