Great post.
Locally I have done something to address this issue. I've started a project, coordinating with the local food pantry, where we have a table at the farmers' market and we ask for food donations from the shoppers. The idea is to give fresh produce, meat and eggs to the members of the pantry instead of the usual canned and packaged junk and stale bread from WF. For the shoppers it's pretty easy because they can even just buy a head of broccoli or a dozen eggs and it's a small amount for them but if lots do it we can get a good amount of food for the pantry. We keep track of the donations for tax purposes. The farmers benefit too.

Great post. And I love JC's idea here in the comments!

Thanks for joining in the Fight Back Friday fun.

Awesome post. Interesting problem - wanting to help charitable causes, but not wanting to promote the use of dangerous additives! Way to go, putting this out there!
