That's how much food is wasted each year. We want to change that … and eat well doing it.

Great re-blog! I have bookmarked Grist.org to go read on the weekend when I have more time. I already checked out a couple of articles — fantastic writing and ideas.
I do wish we could all just get along so that changes can be made to improve our industrial food system. The current, “perfected” system of meat-for-food may be cheaper, but it is in so many more ways more costly. I’m certain we humans can get back to a more sustainable practice of feeding the billions of mouths in this world. Aside from each of us doing our little things, we simply MUST work together to get the big things done.
I just found Grist.org a couple of weeks ago – there’s a lot of great content to explore. This article really pushed the right buttons for me. So many of the “tribes” set up false dichotomies, and discount other solutions to the same set of problems … which makes collaborating for societal change a challenge. Was kind of sad to see where some of the comments went on the article; the tribes had a skirmish.
Wow…I read the thread yesterday, and you’re right. “Tribalism” is the word to describe them! They remind me a lot of the Dems and Reps. We all want the same things, just can’t seem to agree how to get there. Why can’t we all just get along?
