I agree....I try to avoid as much of the processed food as possible. Do I still eat them yes but I make an effort not to. In CT you can still find farmers markets. My mom raises chickens it started as just something to do (now that her kids are all adults), but now she has over 50 birds and does fresh eggs everyday. I haven't bought eggs in over a year and her's are the best tasting i've had. My brother also plants a 3 acre property across the street (no pesticide use) from my parents and grows cucumbers, tomato, squash, peppers, and sweet corn. My wife and I take as much fresh produce was we can and we make home made baby food for our 7 month with it (saves money and we know whats in it). While this isn't available for everyone I take advantage of it as much as possible. There is a noticeable different in the quality. It becomes difficult in winter months but she does canning to preserve as much as she can.

Here is some interesting watching its gets a little doom and gloom but it makes some pretty compelling points.
