This is one of the best arguments yet for local farmers' markets and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). It is becoming essential that we buy local and organic. Get out of town, find your local farmers and find out how to help. Lots of states have Tilth and Organic/Sustainable farming associations. Look them up, and see what you can do. Find the nearest food cooperative, and volunteer. We can no longer be passive victims of multinational agribusiness.

Also, people really shouldn't be poisoning themselves with meat, whether it is from the U.S. or elsewhere -- not unless they want cancer and heart disease. Find out about how you can combine beans and corn, and any legumes and grains for a healthy complete protein that's greater than beef. It is also way cheaper.

The only way the multinationals can thrive is on the passivity of the public. Also, if you want jobs to return to the U.S., boycott to the extent you can, all imported products, especially from China.
