Sometimes the Lowest common denominator factor rears its ugly head(Maple Leaf foods, et al), but there's no way the entire world we can live like vegan Vancouverites only eating organics from local producers unless we offed 5 billion people.

The problem is that the cost of food is cheaper then its ever been but at what cost? How come we could feed ourselves 50 years ago without resorting to mass produced meat?
What are the long term effects of eating the way we do these days? Having control of the food supply in the hands of a small group of companies isn't good for anyone.
The choice isn't factory food vs local organic food. There can be a happy medium between the two.
