There is a last frontier in the on-going struggle by those who think local, first for food sovereignty: legal local liquor.
Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Legal Local Liquor
But before we drink up on the thought, let’s have a look at this notion of food sovereignty, which simply put, is a food system in which the people who produce, distribute and consume food also control the mechanisms and policies of food production and distribution.
Food sovereignty is buying and selling food at the farmers market. Food subservience is buying far-away food at the big box store.
One food, if one dare call it that, for which people have become almost totally subservient is liquor. Though George Washington once freely distilled the grain of his farm into liquor, and sold it to whomever he wished, today the trade is most always totally controlled by the government and its liquor traders.
If one wants a drink of whiskey, one must bow down to the state and its liquor oligarchs.
But there is an innate desire for freedom within us all, and what better place to fight for that freedom than on the battleground of food and drink. And so those who love their sovereignty fight for the right to buy and sell food and drink with their neighbors. Being among those who love freedom, we look with interest to the possibility of legal local liquor, and ask:
Leave a comment below: Should one be allowed to buy liquor from a local distiller, or should one be forced to buy liquor from the state and its liquor oligarchs?

Michael Olson’s Three Laws of the Food Chain
#1 Agriculture is the foundation upon which we build all our sand castles.
#2 The farther we go from the source of our food, the less control we have over what’s in that food.
#3 Cheap food isn’t! READ MORE
