Thanks for these comments, everyone.
There's no doubt that being a more deliberate food shopper, cook and eater are profound political acts. The farm bill only comes up every five years, and we get to choose a new President every four years. But we eat a few times a day.
And when more and more eaters and farmers and food businesses detach from the anonymous food chain, the "agri-industrial complex" is left with fewer customers. The smart companies are already adjusting. Sysco, the largest food distributor in the country, is slowly retooling its warehouses and delivery vehicles and staff to not just service cross-country orders, but also to get local food to local customers. If they don't make this change, then their competitors will.
