You do realize that just saying it ought to be doesn't make it actually happen? Furthermore, just saying the status quo isn't good enough, doesn't make it happen either.
... Scaring people about food doesn't help either

You live in the Pacific North West. Small scale farming is a growth area here. Has been for years. We have locally grown products available here on a scale that was unthinkable 20 years ago.
As for the rest, it's a question of education. Only consumer demand will drive a change in the industry. I do my bit. I'm a card carrying member of SlowFood.
As for scaring people about food: that's the best thing that could happen. "Food Inc." is pretty scary. It woke my wife up to a lot of these issues for example. And that is good.
