[Community_garden] Why Are Presidential Candidates Silent re Industrial Food System's Devolutionary Implications?

[James Godsil]

Perhaps 100 e-mails to Bill Moyers around this theme might make a
difference.
Moyers probably understands what the local organic food movements is all
about.

Dear All,

Does anyone have any thoughts that would help explain to a simple roofer
And apprentice city micro-farmer and edible schoolyard activist...

The silence of our presidential candidates regarding the
Idiocy of industrial commercial agriculture
And its de-volutionary implications?

There have been New York Times article about every week
These past few years that support to dire warnings of
Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver,
And Grace Lee Boggs' visions of community garden's central role
In "re-spiriting" our cities and building beloved communities...

But, to my knowledge, not one of the democratic or republican candidates
Has given any attention to the promise of local, organic agriculture,
Urban farming, and edible schoolyards.

Why not?

Why don't we entertain a vision of 100 "urban agrarians"
Sending a request to Bill Moyers to use his wonderful show
And national stranding to
Win attention to what we are about in the
Real food movements?

If you would like to be on record as having been one of the 100
Who might do this, send an e-mail to
Moyersalert at milwaukeerenaissance.com.

Viva, urban agrarians!
