How do you determine the cost of your food? Is it based upon monetary value - or something else? And how do you reconcile your knowledge of what food should "cost" with a desire to help make food more equitable and accessible?
You probably know that buying products from local farmers supports your community and regional economy. But did you know that buying and consuming local honey is good for you as well?

Can you remember the last time the food you ate made you feel a certain way? When I became a vegetarian thirteen years ago, I would often tell others that I felt better when I didn’t eat meat. Such positive feelings were quickly eclipsed, however, by ill health caused from anemia and vitamin deficiency. I realize now that my body was reacting to the way food was raised. I reacted negatively to the additives, hormones, and drugs that were put into animals. (And I didn't want to eat animals raised that way!)
