Thanks, Shelli, for pointing out this awesome Silly Internet Quiz. I know the results are a shock.
You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

Also? This local food thing? Practically impossible.
I’m still reading everything and trying, but so far I’ve only succeeded in buying in-state or within ~125 miles for milk, chicken, bread, and muscadine grapes. Plus on our way home from the retreat, we bought peaches at a farm produce stand. I would have bought more, but that’s all they had. And the chicken was more than twice as expensive as the unattributed “greenwise” store brand!
I’m going to continue trying — I have some cautious optimism for the kosher grocery store in a not-too-distant neighborhood. But this may wind up as more of a consciousness raising experience than actually eating locally. For this to work in my house, I think we’re going to have to join a CSA.


I belonged to a CSA one summer (half share) and while I loved the “there are *always* vegetables in the house” aspect, the household was me and one non-vegetarian cat. Late in the game (after composting way too much past it produce) I figured out that I should just make soup every Sunday night with the leftovers. I had lots of home-made, local, organic soup for the winter!
Word of warning about Kosher poultry. It usually still has bits of quills/feathers. And you will probably not like Kosher beef as it is very salty.
That quiz looks fun. Thanks for the tip. I am off to go and try it.
