We vote every time we hand over our money at the grocery store and we as consumers need to know that we have a choice and we have the power to vote no.
Here are some of the hallmarks of the industrialized food system in the US that aren't sustainable and things we need to say no to:
Centralized production and processing of foods
Mono-speciation and genetic manipulation of plants and animals
Ready-to-eat food with unpronounceable ingredients
No trespassing signs and high tinsel fencing at "farms", slaughterhouses, and processing plants
Long distance transportation of foods
Non therapeutic antibiotics used as growth promotants in food animals
External costs of inexpensive foods
CAFO's (confined animal feeding operations)
We instead need to learn how to cook, buy locally grown food, learn what's in season, and maybe even plant a garden and get to know our farmers.

I started this because a lot of people ask me if it's hard to be vegan on an island To the contrary, I have found that it is easy, delicious, and lots of fun.
