New York Times Op-Ed placed here for safe keeping.

Here's the skinny: The federal government, at the behest of big agribusiness concerns in California, Florida, and Texas, has put severe financial penalties in place to keep farmers in other states from converting land previously used to grow government-subsidized commodity crops (corn, soybeans, rice, wheat and cotton) to growing fruits and vegetables for local consumption.

Episode 76: Feeding People



Guests: Gyrus founder of the Dreamflesh Journal, and Colin Tudge, author of Feeding People is Easy.

The excerpt I read on the topics of Nutritionism and the Problem of the Fixed Stomach comes from In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan.

At the end of the program, I read part of my correspondence with Digital Crusader Eric Boyd which was sparked by Stuart Staniford's essay, The Fallacy of Reversibility: Why Peak Oil Actually Helps Industrial Agriculture. Another former guest of the C-Realm Podcast, Sharon Astyk has written an excellent response to Staniford.
