I've read about the Yale SFP. It is important that our colleges are instilling such a strong message about sustainability and also about necessary reform of agriculture and the food industry. We are taking a somewhat different approach, which we find to be the most pragmatic. It won't work to "boycott" the large food companies. They're too powerful and probably won't go away. The smarter solution would be to try to educate executives about how to make even more profit by doing things right. If our grandparents could produce food for the winter without even one harmful ingredient and without one harmful process, I'm quite certain our smart and resource rich food organizations can also relearn how to do it on a larger scale.
