It's great to see that there are people reading that aren't related to me. :) For the record, I'm in southeast Minnesota. Keep up the good work, Lisa. Thanks for your comments.

While on a nation-wide basis, our petition at FDN has received a measure of success, it is important for all of us to keep in mind that changes in our agriculture, health and food landscape really take place with our choices in the kitchen and where we choose to utilize our time and energy on a personal, day-to-day basis. I appreciate your blog as a reminder of this, with your reference to the (slow) simple joys of cooking (from "scratch"), sewing (which, for the record, I have not mastered), and reading books (with pages!) and the connections that these activities provide to what it really means to be present and "involved" to create real change. In my mind, these are the joys that can truly create peace - personally, locally and globally. Feel free to e-mail me... I'd love to know where in the Midwest you are! (I'm in Iowa.)
