This is to thank Gary Freiberg for his opinion piece in the Sun reminding us of the power of the people (“The price is wrong,” Jan. 30).
Yes! Let’s start with having fewer eggs (or none at all until prices come down). Buy some nuts at the farmers market. Walnuts are shaped like our brains, our brains like them, they last a long time and no dishes. Our coffee shops and restaurants could join the parade by cooking up even more delicious, nutritious, and eggless meals and treats helping to make a tremendous impact.
While we are not eating eggs, let’s remember Margaret Mead’s famous words: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Thanks again, Gary.
