The box stores should worry. People want to eat locally.
Here's an article from Advertising Age, of all places.

One neat way to tell Big Oil to kiss off is to refuse
to buy food that has to be transported ridiculous distances.
That would also torque big, corporate agri-bidness, like
Monsanto, ADM and Cargill, with their GM food crops.

Talk is cheap -- the only thing that will get their attention
is how/where you decide to spend your money.

That reminds me, I need to hit our local farmers market more often.
I'm dying for some vine ripe tomatoes. ;-d

It's on Tuesday afternoons.


Same for me. Sat. 8 AM to 12 PM. Support our local farmers. You might
want to email your congressperson and let them know what you think of
the proposed immigration law. Definitely let them know what you think
about bringing our troops home.
