The Consolidation of American Food in Pictures

One can only write about local foods and the dangers of our factory farmed, mega corporate food production system for so long. Sometimes you have to actually see the information. Prepare yourself-- you'll be motivated to find your nearest CSA and nab your share of local food to fight consolidation, corporate excess and control, waste (and the often terrible quality) of Big Food. Also, get ready to see astronomical amounts of meat (thank goodness it's a cartoon!).

We know they have money. And power. Just look at last week's declaration of pizza as a vegetable and the lessening of school lunch standards. See this-- visual learners-- and pledge to find locally grown, humanely raised food from your neighbors instead this holiday. Thanks to the Frugal Dad for this amazing infographic. What do you think of it?
