   That one I'll buy.  ADM, and the Congresscritters in their pay, should be in   
   jail.

   Agree.  The Left are not enemies of corporate fascism, they're leaders in it.   
      
   > America promotes cash crops instead of sustainable food growing.   
      
   Because the federal government subsidizes water projects and, in return,   
   requires farmers get theirs at a discount.   
      
   > America promotes fast food for the world, most of it wasteful meat.   
      
   There's nothing wasteful about meat.  The people of India and China would be   
   able to afford it if they'd stop breeding babies they can't afford to feed.
