The quote from Margaret Mead comes to mind - "A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" - while I was perusing the offerings in the cereal aisle in the local super food/clothing/office supply/sporting goods purveyor with someone who prefers to shop there. I make that sort of purchase in a health food store, so when my eyes fell upon boxes of Kellogg's Organic Raisin Bran, Organic Rice Krispies, and the last one I can't quite seem to remember or find on the internet, up there on the shelf, well, I just had to stop and do a happy dance.
And honor all those who have come before, choosing to stand up to the food industry's assault on our bodies and our minds by saying no to junk, either by growing and processing unsubsidized real food themselves in the face of so much derision and resistance from industry peers, or by paying more for that food as a consumer, and doing it over and over again, so that we could collectively reach this point in time when the food/marketing/healthcare industry is finally scrambling to keep up with the demand we created and to get their cut of the organic market share.
A small group of people changing the world. Indeed.
