New Interesting article on U.S. agricultural policy & Obesity

New Eater's Farm Bill


But the guiding principle behind an eater\ufffds farm bill could not be more straightforward: it\ufffds one that changes the rules of the game so as to promote the quality of our food (and farming) over and above its quantity.




I think I will drop a note about this to my senator and congressman.

I invited her up to my place for a little midnight bait. I said, "Come on, baby. It'll only take a few minnows." She threw me that same old line: "Not tonight, I've got a haddock."
