The season inspires thoughts of food--including the politics, economics, and ecology of US agriculture. Some personal reflections by KD are interwoven with 8 short commentaries by JIM HIGHTOWER.
Topics include deceptive packaging, declining food-safety rules for corporate meatpackers, low wages at fast-food chains, huge "agricultural" subsidies for the rich, how drug-warriors destroyed an organic farm, and a Connecticut vegetable farmer decides to add a few pigs and sell a little pork.
Jim Hightowers recorded commentaries are from his Web site: www.jimhightower.com
