PattyCakes - you will really enjoy native plants in your yard. Not only will it provide habitate for pollinators but it will also attract butterflies too. Enjoy the adventure!

Let's see some pictures of these so called organic things - and see some
people eating the fruits of your labor. In other words, some ACTION!

Thanks all. Greg, you're absolutely right. I agree with Shari (you should have a column!), and with Debbie (food + time), and also with Amy, who smartly points out that not everyone can grow their own food in their backyard.
I want to respectfully acknowledge that educated organic farmers may not be reflective of average Americans in terms of food choices and access. But I also want to point out that the article is not focused on people who can't grow their own food or don't have access, but on people who CAN afford good food, DO have access, and choose to eat fast food anyway. The excuses (topic headings) above are just that - excuses - but they're REAL excuses, used by real, smart people. Ignoring them - or poo-pooing them - won't make them go away, but addressing them head on, as many of you thoughtful commenters have done (Greg, Paige, Amy, Kris, Debbie), can help us convince people otherwise. That's the hope, anyway.
Thanks for being the kind of people I want to eat with.
I bookmarked this article a month ago, thinking it would be great fun to do the bikeride and the bistro. Well, we finally did it this morning -- it's a nice ride and a delicious frittata! Thanks for the article.
Right on, Debbie. When I was introduced to Nature's Nectar I became aware of how complex honey could be...and how truly _special_ local honey is. Keep up the great work!
I enjoyed reading this article. I feel that these are real steps that I can do that can make a difference. I read and learned about blue birds I put up blue bird boxes in my yard I now have blue birds. I feel I made a defference. I can do the same for bees.
Greg, What you bring up is the food + time paradox. Sadly, we Americans have become victims of convenience consumerism letting others provide our food for us rather taking charge of it ourselves. As we are seeing, it's a very tough thing to reverse. Once you have something that makes your life easier (like prepared foods), it's hard to give it up - even when you know it's bad for you.

Good article, Debbie, and
Good article, Debbie, and well written! It will affect what I plant in the yard this summer. The pollinators are lucky to have an advocate like you.

This is pathetic!!! I am a vegetarian because I hate how people kill animals!!! Not because I am becoming more conscious about my food!
There is a lot of food other than MEAT!!!
