Stimulus package

"if half the families in Indiana shifted $6.25 of their current weekly food budget to the purchase of Indiana grown or produced local food that this effort would provide an annual contribution of 300 million dollars into the local Indiana economy." That is what Victoria Wessler of goinglocal-info.com wrote in a recent article on her blog.
WOW! What a stimulus package! The economy benefits and our families eat well.
Hmmm.... that's the price of some tomatoes, a bag of lettuce, and a bunch of green onions.
It's amazing how a lot of little actions can multiply.
