I've been doing a lot of Farm Bill research lately and find it fascinatingly depressing that more people, especially food lovers with all of our loquaciousness, aren't more interested or knowledgable or preachy about this critical piece of legislation. This bill, commandeering close to a hundred billion tax dollars, pretty much directs what every human being in this country puts into our bodies as food and what we put into the air and water and land as pollution. This bill is one of the most significant forces affecting food, farming, and land use in the United States yet most of us don’t even know of its existence, much less the myriad consequences it brings.
