Stephan:   Here is some good news about food. One of the interesting trends I have been following, which is getting almost no attention is that there has been a transition in the American Indian tribes. Younger tribal members are better educated, some have become lawyers. The fact that Native America groups are, under sovereign treaties, in many ways independent nations has not eluded these millennials, who are sophisticated enough to understand the leverage this gives. Also, at least in the Pacific Northwest the tribes beginning about a year and a half ago decided to form a council so they can speak with the collective voice. Thanks to the Lummi Tribe the ill-conceived coal port in Cherry Point, Washington was blocked. These 19th century treaties were drafted at a time when the goal of the dominant White culture was that the tribes would either be assimilated, like the Poles and Italians, or put on worthless land no one else wanted and left to more or less fend with themselves with just enough basic support to reduce problems.  The United States committed itself through those treaties and they are very vaguely word because no in Washington thought they meant much. That vague wording is being put to good use, and it is wonderful to watch. Here's an example.
