Thank you for taking what must have been a lot of time to write the review on 'Food, Inc.'. The problems it addresses seem so big and so unmanageable that I really don't know where to start. It's tempting to just give up and say that one person (or one family) can't make a difference in the system and just concentrate on trying to eat as healthily as one can afford. Does the book give much hope on that front? (i.e., of people really making a difference to anyone outside themselves and their own health?) You touched on this, but I'm still not sure what more one can do other than try to buy the healthiest, small-scale-sourced (and thus most expensive) food possible.
