Thank you! I just finished reading a book chapter about living lives of “justice” and used promoting justice within the food system as the primary example. I’ve always had a problem with this, because while other justice-driven choices typically have affordable solutions (take the bus instead of driving a car; buy used clothes instead of new [side note: choices lower income people typically make anyway, because of economic reasons]) food just doesn’t. I’m in a two-income household with a good paying job and find farmer’s market prices prohibitive.

I appreciate small-scale farmers and I know changes have to be made to protect our environment from “big food” — I just wish the people at the forefront of these changes took a minute to consider the real world most of us live in.
