Roots of Change Thanks for places like Bi-Rite in SF, which according to ROC Fellow Anya Fernald, "shows how we could redevelop a regional food system in the Bay Area."

Sam Mogannam stays in constant motion as he zips through Bi-Rite Market, the San Francisco grocery that has been in his family since the 1960s - answering questions, exchanging hugs with customers, and showing off the store's densely packed inventory and locavore credentials.

I love the idea of Bi-Rite just like I love the idea of Dean & Deluca when I'm in NYC. But as someone on a very strict budget, it is completely out of my range nor a viable alternative. Cheers to them for making it work, but I'll be spending my money at the Mexican market and panaderia down the street.

Good thoughts Michael. Things are not going to change overnight, but progress is being made and for that we should be very thanksful. Slow but steady wins the race. As long as we are moving in the right direction we should be grateful, and just keep on keeping on.

Each time another food-borne pathogen cuts a swath across America, we righteously seek out the culprit for what amounts to a public flogging.

campylobacter is a normal bacteria found in fowl. Just like like E coli being natural to humans. It's not fun to be infected with it though. I had it once ...spend 5 days at home sick as a dog and then was hospitalized for 5 additional days afterward.
