In a recent commentary for VTDigger, Niccola Milnes reflects on Vermont’s deep-rooted culture of eating with the seasons and supporting local farmers. She laments the politicization of healthy eating, emphasizing that prioritizing organic, local food should be a fundamental practice rather than a political statement. Milnes, a counterterrorism and conflict adviser, highlights the importance of feeding families well and supporting local farms in Vermont.
As a resident of Vermont for the past seven years, Milnes appreciates the state’s commitment to healthy living and sustainable food systems. She recalls the challenges faced during wildfires last year, where the focus was on protecting children from harmful pollutants rather than engaging in political debates. Inspired by Vermont’s values, Milnes founded Little Boosties, a children’s supplement brand that embodies the state’s principles of clean ingredients and respect for nature.
Milnes urges Vermonters to uphold their traditions of supporting local agriculture and promoting healthy living without letting politics interfere. She emphasizes that advocating for real food and wellness should not be divisive, but rather a unifying principle that aligns with Vermont’s core values. By staying focused on the health of families and the sustainability of local food systems, Vermonters can continue to preserve their unique way of life.
