Just a reminder about things like organic foods.

I know I am preaching to the choir to some extent here. No offense intended. But reminders help me, so maybe they help others.
When you go to the store and buy stuff you are voting on how you want this country to be. If you buy cheap food instead of organic food the corporations will be more than happy to give you more of the same. You are telling them that you don't care as long as it is cheap. And they will find ways to get the govt. to cooperate with them producing more and more cheap food no matter what it takes. They will manipulate the EPA, the FDA, and all the other groups that are supposed to protect us. And it is simply because of what we buy.
Simply put, if we all went organic over night the corporations would change to meet demand. They would follow the money. And what we buy sets the stage for everything else.
If we don't care that much about what we feed our kids, we probably don't care that much about what we drink, breathe, or wear.
If we refused to buy any chicken but free range chicken, then all chicken farmers would become free range farmers or they would be out of business in short order.
There is a long list of this kind of stuff. A long list of choices we can make.And at the end of the day I think how we spend our money is far far more influential than who we vote for.
If we vote once every few years for one thing, and vote every day for something else, we will get politicians who will tell us one thing and do something else. They are playing our game.
We can vote everyday.
Thanks.
