“One of the biggest ways we as individuals can change our food system is to seek out local butchers, local food producers, meat share programs, direct to consumer fisherman, etc. Avoid the big box stores and consolidated grocery chains. Avoid the temptation to try and fix things with more government, even if you like those in charge; it will always come back to bite. Let the free market work its magic. Vote with your wallet.”
