  • Pork

    Eat as little meat as possible, it is very harmful to your environment and your health in large amounts, and you overall food bill and your overall tax bill and your own long term food security as it is much like the gateway to family farm destruction. Buy it direct from a farmer as much as possibly. That is not to hard to do. A little research and a small freezer and you will be saving enough on your meats to buy the rest of your groceries for free while not supporting the system that is driving your food prices up and will ultimately starve you and your family unless you are in the top 5% of wage earners in North America. If you can't be bothered to vote for the right people to protect you at least vote with your wallet when you shop to protect yourself.On Pushing for 'fair food' on campus in the land of hog factories posted 1 year, 8 months ago 22 Responses

  • ethanol

    What needs to happen now or retroactively back to the last ethanol subsidy checks being sent is a 100% reduction in those subsidies, a roll back of the legislated mandate of ethanol percentage in gasoline to 0% and increased paid set asides, summer fallow regimes or nitrogen plow down crops to conserve soil and resources for food for future generations and to keep the present grains commodity price up at it's current break even level to preserve farmers. Now food can be produced for future generations, just in case they need it. Much like maintaining a fire department just in case there is a fire. Right now if there is a fire ADM and Cargill are right there trying to convince some politician to dump ethanol on it.On Archer Daniels Midland will squeeze out competition, says Fortune posted 1 year, 8 months ago 8 Responses

  • Monsanto

    Like David Suzuki said at a meeting a few years back while talking about the harmful effects of agent orange, aspartame and GMO seeds introduced into the environment by Monsanto.
