Extract
in 2006, when collecting data for her book Black, White, and Green, Alison spoke with Kirk, a manager at the first entirely organic farmers’ market in the United States. Like most of the market’s vendors and customers, he was white, college-educated, and politically progressive. Kirk described the farmers’ market as a way to advocate for a healthy environment while working around, rather than challenging, an unresponsive state:
I think that people continue to work on the government, but the government hasn’t shown us anything good for an awfully long time. Democrat or Republican, they still don’t get it. … With the government, it’s like fighting fires with them. Trying to control the spread of GMOs and the release of the new most toxic chemical, like trying to stop the move from methyl bromide to methyl chloride or whatever it is. … We can’t even get methyl bromide phased out and that’s been worked on for years! … We do not want to see our food supply controlled by corporations. They’re blowing it in so many other ways and they already control so much of the food supply! I can know where [my food is] coming from so that I don’t have to be a part of that … so that I can find an alternative to that and feed that.
