While the Home Farming campaign promotes home gardening and local eating, it is still being presented by Kraft Foods, a major producer of processed and prepackaged food. Mathews says Kraft is attempting to use this campaign to position its products as containing real ingredients, ignoring the fact that they’re really full of unnatural additives. She writes: OK, it’s nice that a big company believes there a lot of interest in growing food. Enough interest, actually, that they want to grab on and join the gravy train.  BUT, what I understand about the people who are taking back control of their food supply, is that they –we- became interested in growing food because we lost faith in the quality of food produced by companies like Kraft.

In the end, a movement is no different than nature-- the Tilth and community garden spirit cannot be co opted by corporate tools. No tv so I can't comment on the advt, but I assure you, this too shall pass. I do see the farm moving into high rises in cities-- and organic farming getting more corporate as food is grown in 20-30 floor greenhouses. Kraft will no doubt have a picture on the side of that building with a Monsanto corporate corn cob dripping with Kraft margarine. There is another path.

I don't eat Triscuits or Kraft Food products and the word mayonnaise makes me gag. However, I'll take their money. I'm building a school farm and managing a community garden. Bottom line, I could always use more funding. This is why I vote with my fork; at every meal. I don’t eat Triscuits or Kraft Food products and the word mayonnaise makes me gag.
