The junk food revolution, ‘free’ trade and poor health
The Most Revolutionary Act 
Watching my son’s health deteriorate eating junk food, so easily available here in the US, has been painful for me, having raised him with healthy, home-cooked meals.

It takes a lot of farm to feed a city, yet Asia and the rest of the world seem to be hypnotized by the US’ bad example. North and South America were pristine continents when the Europeans arrived only five hundred years ago, yet we are now beginning to drown in our own poisons.
The articles don’t attempt to compare the situation in India with that of the US, but culturally, India is a whole lot older, so probably has been doing something right. By Asian standards, the US is a cultural upstart but is riding for ruin and taking the world with it, I fear, with its empty commercialism.
Yet another good article choice.

Katherine, I have followed the work of Vendana Shiva and her Navdanya Institute in promoting traditional organic practices (including seed saving and polyculture) among Indian small farmers, who are mainly women: http://www.navdanya.org/site/
