If we took the subsidy that goes to industrial agriculture, mostly in the upper Mississippi, and divided it out across the land, there would be $166 a person a year. That would be, for example, $166 million dollars a year to support local agriculture in a city of a million people. Jobs would be plentiful, and even the poor could afford to eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of the government subsidized junk food they are forced to eat with today's system.<br />Glycotechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11193257337516320783noreply@blogger.com
