Subsidies to corn and soy beans producers that make more than $200,000 a
year makes no sense. The empty calories that they produce are making us
sick. The fast food that they support has created a model for the work
place, where places McDonalds, and Wal Mart have 400% turn over in
employees because that way, they can avoid paying benefits. Fast food
isn't really cheap food because the cost of land degradation, water
pollution, necessary infrastructure, impoverishment of farmers becomes a
social cost, whereas the profits go into the private pockets of Cargill,
Archer Daniels Midlands, and Monsanto.

[.............................................] we begin to make
different food choices, we begin to influence our little part of the
world, and we begin to do our part in the transition toward a new
healthy, sustainable national and global food system. One by one, as we
make choices that change our world, we in fact begin to change the world.

The noted anthropologist, Margaret Mead once said, ³Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it¹s the only thing that ever has.² So, let¹s do our part to
change the world by becoming a part of the new American food culture, as
farmers, food workers, or just as eaters. Let¹s start making food
choices that only enhance our own health and happiness, but also help
create a healthier, happier world.

"Margaret Mead" ... Isn't she the one who taught native
Samoans about rape and murder and other concepts of
American Business?

(That is a rhetorical question. The answer is "yes".)


In fact in this part of the Ulcered Sphincter or Arserica
Samoans are the top of the Food Chain of drug dealing:
Any non-Samoan attempting to bring in drugs is shortly
found in a ditch with his throat cut, and usually more
graphic illustrations of their dislike of competition.
This also happens to persons suspected of defacing
their Gang-Sign, which proclaims their "Ownership"
of the local drug trade on every signpost and highway
overpass.

So much for "enlightening" people.
Let's give ourselves back to England.
