Hi Bob! Here to help a guy out some comments :] I hope you will share the article you are working on with us!

Healthy and local food is something I have valued for some time, but the pandemic definitely reminded me about why healthy and local food is vital to healthy individuals and communities. I found myself thinking real dystopian and wondering if people would be able to survive if grocery stores crumbled! That scary thought train reminded me that I want to learn how to be more self-sustainable and develop more self-sustaining communities. Supporting local farmers and food producers helps communities grow stronger and healthier. Personally, I would love to see more organic farmers at markets in the Chicago suburbs. Part of why I also enjoy shopping local is to interact with food producers. There is something so comforting about meeting the people who are responsible for making the food I am eating. I know where it comes from and the general process of how it was created. Food is personal. Buying from local farmers and producers helps me feel more connected to my food, which is something I am thinking about more and more as a consumer.
