The revolution will be grown here, And then televised.
Local, sustainable small farms... what do they mean? Do they mean not having to truck lettuce 2,000 miles to get to my dinner table? Do they mean not using pesticides? Do they mean growing regionally-appropriate crops?
I have to believe this is the true wave of the future, even if for some of us it conjures images of "off the grid" hippies and liberal politics. It's bigger than that, my friends, it's bigger than partisanship and one-upmanship. I'm coming to believe it's a moral and national imperative, and, judging by the way the heirloom tomatoes and locally-harvested honey from my neighborhood farmer's market taste, it's a tasty future.

Fucking long-haired, pot-smoking, hippie, commie bastards! I like my fruit and veggies over-processed, dripping with pesticides, irradiated (if at all possible), and coated with artificial fertilizers. It's the American way, damn it! None of this sustainable, organic, environmentally friendly farming for me, thank you very much. This is Chevy country--at least according to the commercial, although I'm not quite sure what that means. Apparently it has something to do with unnecessarily over-large trucks that are mostly used to navigate the rugged and treacherous terrain between home and the Harris Teeter, combined with conspicuous and wasteful fuel consumption. But, I digress. I *do* know there's no room in 'merica for little commie twerps in designer glasses selling me some bullshit about 'regionally appropriate crops.' They should all go back to where they came from. Then we'll see how sustainable a big ol' American boot in the ass is!
