Closing thoughts from the movie Food, inc.

• When you go to the supermarket, choose foods that are in season.
• Buy foods that are organic.
• Know what’s in your food. Read labels.
• The average meal travels 1500 miles from the farm to the supermarket. Buy foods that are grown locally.
• Shop at farmer’s markets.
• Plant a garden (even a small one).
• Cook a meal with your family and eat together.
• Everyone has a right to healthy food. Make sure your farmer’s market takes food stamps.
• Ask your school board to provide healthy school lunches.
• The FDA and USDA are supposed to protect you and your family. Tell Congress to enforce food safety standards and re-introduce Kevin’s Law.
• If you say grace, ask for food that will keep us, and the planet healthy.
