For my project, I plan to make an informative pamphlet discussing the importance of eating local and organic foods, and the dangers posed by the consumption and production of industrial scale food products to both environmental and human health. The pamphlet will also discuss reasons why organic and locally produced foods are so expensive, making them only available to wealthier consumers. Most importantly, the pamphlet will highlight the importance of individual involvement in political actions to change the governmental regulations and societal frameworks, which keep organic and local foods from being consumed by all income levels. I plan to frame the language in such a way to make the pamphlets information and overall message accessible to the largest amount of people possible. I then hope to distribute the pamphlet at supermarkets, farmer’s markets, and other food stores.
I’m also considering doing some sort of guerilla campaign around the city, using wheat paste to put up posters with similar messages as the pamphlet around the city. I’m not yet sure if I want to actually do this due to time constraints. I plan to decide whether or not I want to pursue this idea in the very near future.

What a cool idea! It's probably a good idea to contact people at stores/organic restaurants ahead of time, before you make your pamphlet. It would suck to make your pamphlet and then not be able to distribute it anywhere because no one's manager is available to give you the ok.
I love the creativity and action that your project takes. Testing the difference between local/organic food and commercial food might help make a point for eating local food. Showing that the food taste better could be enough to change minds. Also, getting biography's of local food producers and supermarket owners to add to the pamphlet may add a nice emotional appeal. Good luck! =)
