"Yes, org, slo, alt food is lifestyle activism and nothing more than conspicuous lifestyle activism to boot. Why do you think this is my perspective?"

I'm guessing that "lifestyle activism" is a bad thing though I'm not quite sure why. Because it focuses on the consumer rather than the producer?

I've made it a point to eat food I buy at the local farmer's market, and I have been very happy with the quality and with eating food that is in season. It makes the year more interesting.

I'm also guessing that chemical-free, hormone-free food is healthier than the alternative.

But since you're the one with the farming experience, let me ask. Why is this a bad thing?
