I agree that this is a horrifying picture of what is to come (perhaps?).

I was fascinated by the bit at the end of the article about half a dozen Connecticut farmers joining together to retail their own milk. Takes a certain amount of gumption.

The more I live and learn, the more I realize that the only way we'll be able to compete with the mega-corporations is to go directly to our neighbors and those in nearby towns and cities and do what the big guys just can't do--- sell truly quality products which don't disadvantage someone along the way, but only benefit the producer and the consumer. I guess the only one hurt in this scenario is the fat cat corporate boardroom guys. The nice thing is that each small farmers' coop makes such a small dent in the big guys that the big guys probably wouldn't even notice. See, no one's feelings get hurt. Now that is a win-win-win situation.

Merry Christmas to all. Blessings in the New Year.

Christopher
