in other words
I have a question about the usage of the transition "in other words". Please read the following passage and determine if there is no problem with the transition "in other words" in the passage.
Is it possible for us to repair our relationship with food and eating by planting and cultivating our own food? It's definitely possible. To participate in the deliberate and incredibly fascinating process of your own crops is the best way that can liberate you from the value which fast food implies. In other words, we have drummed into ourselves that food is manufactured from factories, rather than grown in nature, that food should be fast, cheap, and easy, and that food is just energy resource for the human body instead of a kind of communication with the world including nature and people.

Thank you, Mr.Micawber for your kind editing of the whole passage. However, What I badly need to know is not how I can edit the problematic passage so that it can make any sense but if the transition 'in other words' is put in the right context. As far as I understand, 'in other words' is used to restate what has already been said. The question is if it is possible to use 'in other words' to res

I agree with you. In other words would refer to the whole idea, not just part of it, so it doesn't really work here.
