Re[2]: organic panic
Alas, more and more frequently, excessively nosy neighbors are able to
control what folks grow on their own property through the use (or
maybe mis-use is correct) of homeowners' association covenants. Some
of my neighbors consider vegetable gardens "unsightly" and routinely
harass folks who "grow their own." My only response has been to try
to get elected to the board and present a voice of sanity and
tolerance...
Good luck on your work.

Sal and Sannetters,
I guess I agree that the momentum of the government and the global
industrial food supply has already taken away our consumer sovereignty
(at least until there is a major revolution), but there is another
option that we must fight even harder to preserve. Growing one's own
food and buying from local (preferably known and trusted) sources will
always be the best way to support sustainable food production and
maintain food security.
