A few years ago, my daughter Becky gave me a book to read, The Omnivore’s Dilemma.  I recommend it to you.

A while back, I chatted with Becky about her desire to stop eating anything containing high fructose corn syrup, to buy from her local farmers, to provide wholesome food for her family.

Recently, I spoke to Becky about her efforts to prepare meals made from the fundamentals, to eschew preprocessed, industrial foodstuffs.

Frankly, a few years ago, I thought Becky was nuts.  I don’t think that anymore.

Last month, I wanted to buy a gun case for a new rifle I was given by my brother-in-law.  I looked around; everything was made in China.  I refused to buy one until I could find a quality product made in America.  My brother-in-law asked, “How long has this been going on?”  I said, “As of now.”

I was talking to an old friend last Friday night and told her about my discussions with Becky; about how I was drawn to the message.  How I wanted to follow her lead.  My friend said, “All it takes is one person.”

So, I’m now one person.  I’ve begun to locate sources for local food; eggs, raw milk, produce, meat, butter.  Grown locally, purchased right off the farm.

I’m also one person who will never again buy anything except that which is made in America (or was made in America at some point).  Is this even possible?  I don’t know.  But I’m one person and I’m going to try.

I invite you to follow my progress.  And I invite you to join me.
