On Making this World Eater-Centric

Very good article in the New York Times Magazine about how the farm subsidies have made high calorie foods so much cheaper than low calorie, healthy foods. These same subsidies have created havoc on clean water, the environment, obesity rates (especially in the poor), and school lunches, as well as the farm economies in Mexico and many other countries that can't compete with the prices of corn syrup, soybean oil, and wheat. The Farm Bill is up for review every 5 years - behind closed doors and reveiwed by those with industry interests. If anyone knows how the rest of us who care about eating can infiltrate this archaeic and misplaced piece of legislation, please let me know.
