His treatment should be put in the proper context, which is that the prisoners at Guant?namo are fed meals that accord with their religious beliefs, they are given Korans and prayer rugs, and their health is monitored.

Start with your basics, the things that you eat the most of, or things that are easiest to come by. Pick one item from the farmer's market that's grown locally. There's no reason to be importing those. If you would just commit to only buying local apples, that would make a huge impact. The Northeast Organic Farmers' Association of Maine did a study.
