Why I REALLY HATE This Administration
I've often ranted about the way that farmers and farms have been treated since the coups in 1980. For some reason, Corporate America seems to think that food comes from supermarkets, and that people like eating plants that have been genetically mutated to allow them to be grown in Jablip, harvested early, ripened by chemicals, shipped at leisure, and sold at a huge profit. Don't worry that they taste like cardboard, contain dubious nutritional value, and perhaps will have horrible evolutionary consequences down the line. Dollars now, we always say.
Anyway, this excellent article by Gilbert M. Gaul and Dan Morgan in WaPo sheds light onto the problem at the Federal level. The problem is, this is supposed to shock us. The fact that it doesn't even raise an eyebrow anymore is severely depressing.
