When you are used to eating from a can
You might be suspicious of the man
Who sells you simple ingredients
Without even after dinner mints
Lettuce does not grow in bags
Eggs aren't made with upc tags
Learning how to cook is easy
And the result won't make you queasy
Watching a pot come to boil
Choosing for your loved ones the best oil
Friends at your dinner table
Is better than any TV fable
You and I know good food is good
And therefore don't eat what others would
But it is so very sad to shop
Where cans, bags and boxes stop
Let's all stop buying today
Where grocers don't do things our way
Start a co-op it is quick
Before we all start growing sick
Join one if there is one near
Or we'll starve as I fear
Opening boxes bags and cans is hard
Let's now play our highest card
Support your farmer with some cash
And then enjoy some tasty mash!

Some very good advice contained here. There is a complete disconnect between the human consumer and the food producer. Too much of a disconnect. Layers of corporate bureaucracy make the entire journey one of suspicion, of imperfect information, and of ultimately trusting people who have repeatedly and repeatedly demonstrated that they do not care about the common consumer. Good post.
