Things we can do to change the system:

• You can vote to change this system.  Three times a day.
• Buy from companies that treat workers, animals, and the environment with respect!
• 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
• Know what you buy.  The average meal travels 1500 miles from the farm to the supermarket.
  
  • Buy foods that are grown locally.
    
  • Shop at farmers’ 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 farmers’ 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.
• You can change the world with every bite.
