Portmanteau has these fun, locally-made, organic cotton T-shirts for sale at their Old Port shop for $19.50. ($2 from each purchase goes to the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.) Adam bought one the other day. I particularly like the double entendre on the sleeve.

I also love the overall message. As more of us realize that we can pump up the local economy and get the best tasting food from nearby farmers and food producers, we're slowly but surely reducing the demand for the tasteless and contaminated food produced by industrial agribusinesses. Even though these huge corporations have mastered the art of selling us cheap food, we're beginning to smarten up and realize that we pay the true cost of that food with higher healthcare costs and tax bills. Of course, no one wants to be responsible for such atrocities as rainforest clearcutting or the ocean's dead zones. Which is good to keep in mind when you're considering that factory farmed hamburger or that high fructose corn syrup laden soda.
