Affordable food and choice most important
Commentary
Affordable food during this time when a growing number of Americans are laid off or have received pay cuts is more important to those with hungry mouths to feed at home than whether or not the chickens who laid the eggs had 3x the space they needed to be healthy, comfortable and lay eggs.
Despite the home foreclosures, loss of jobs and troubled economic times in this country, we have something others do not have. We have the safest and most affordable food supply in the world. We also have the right to choose. If I want my tomatoes grown locally, I can buy them that way. If I want to purchase brown eggs from a free-range farm, I can buy them that way. If I want to buy natural beef or organic bananas, I can buy them that way. But I expect to pay a premium.
