1 $ = 1 Vote

The premise of an article by Greg Bowman, "Free speech-for you to use-to promote fresh, local and organic food" from way back in 2006, was that you vote with your wallet. Every food dollar you spend is a vote that rewards people for farmers, processes, and sellers from the place/source you buy it from. Buying organic farming is a step toward helping farm families, the land, water, and biological life, and your own health. Not buying increases big farms, loss of diversity and topsoil, water pollution, chemicals, fertilizers and on... What a different way of looking at every choice we make. It's a vote. Oh, let us use our votes to honor God and love our neighbors.
