It strikes me that one way to end the sterile Red/Blue debate—a division where political establishments become a shorthand for the people they do, or do not, represent—is to think through a healthier connection between the city and the country.

You don't have to believe in the Slow Food movement to want put something in your children's mouths other than chemical-laden corporate swill... And an attitude like that can only help small farmers, for example. The kind who come to the farmer's market. More like this.
