What if you have the power to make one revolutionary change to this world?

It would be difficult to choose a revolution, a global change, that would occur in my lifetime. I think that if I had the power to make a change, it would center around food. What I mean by this would be to have humanity connected to the process in which our food is produced. One hundred years ago, the food you find on your table would be the same food you cultivated and grew, or hunted and gathered. But now we select plastic packaged foods from supermarkets that all look "perfect." Every apple, strawberry, and banana all look the same. We talk about animal rights, when in reality we stuff antibiotics and corn down the throats of cattle, and slaughter them by the thousands. We cage livestock, we spray our tomatoes with chemicals, and a diversity in natural produce is looked upon in horror and thrown away. What if we could once again restate that connection from farm to table. Using natural cycles to grow our food, that doesn't pollute our Earth and put future generations at risk. If I had the chance to make one evolution on Earth, then it would be to save humanity from the ignorance in which our food appears in our supermarkets.
