Hello Rose, I do not see where you are muckraking as I see no disagreement. Although I am not really sure what people are voting for these days, I do know that just in the short time I have been a member of a csa in this country, from 1989 until now, that csa farms and memberships have multiplied from a handful to hundreds. That's good grassroots campaigning. I meant the Walmart "market economy" is not the one to target as ultimately their market share will be like empty calories. Change is here.
Allan, I will get back to you after talking more with JP to see if he can write up some of these ideas he's also been working on for many years about expanded csa's & share them with the list. Also to get the practical info on how the United Way shares in Harlem came to be realized.

I'm not trying to be a muckraker so early in my membership, Jane, but isn't that the definition of a market economy. People vote with their dollars, and when they don't get what they want, they start "grass roots" campaigns, word of mouth, etc. Comments? ------ End of Forwarded Message
