The Dominos Chain of Organic Food Fans
How to increase food security for someone is a... difficult mission considering healthy/safe food is available where I live. Organic food is available in the supermarket, but not everyone buys it due to its crazy price.
So my contributions to the mission were to
-Raise awareness aboutorganic food
-Contact the major supermarkets in relation to their pricing
The supermarkets have yet to reply, seeing as it is a Sunday today so they won't today.
However, I successfully raised awareness about organic food;
- Our house has a wh*** area of home-grown herbs, vegetables and fruits. Therefore any visitors were offered various food we had excess of to take home. I think they really appreciated tasting and seeing the difference. They were generally surprised because they had always thought growing food was a massive get-up.
- Printing out flyers trying to tell people what they were missing out on and possible risks of eating non-organic food. Know what you eat.
- Getting a wh*** group of people to boycott organic food in supermarket chains due to its overpricedness.
It may not sound like much, but currently a mini-army of people are running around starting their own gardens. These people have friends who will learn of this who in-turn will spread the word even further. Dominos effect strikes again!

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
