Isn't this what culture changing is all about? I love it! “More importantly, however, they provide us, as individuals and families, with the chance to stand out in an otherwise homogenous culture.” Isn’t this what culture changing is all about?

Permission to think outside the box is so critical, especially when it comes to something as culturally steeped as food sources. I get great pleasure out of meeting children who realize that chicken nuggets don't grow on chicken nugget trees (or, for that matter, don't even know what a chicken nugget IS). As a second generation homeschoolers, the transition to "opting out" (I like this term, by the way) has been beautifully natural and fluid. :) Well put, Perry!

One thing I appreciate about my local grocery store, Martins (out in Rising Sun), is that they sell local produce. It is always located in special tables at the very front of the produce section. I like buying local, because I know I am supporting my friends and neighbors. btw-Perry was 1/4 of Mt Sophia’s first graduating class back in 1998.
