Subject: Farm Bill
Another thing we can discuss. The policy of the "Farm Bill". It is responsible for so many woes, but it keeps getting renewed. I've thought for a long time we should stop doing it. It popped into my head again when I saw this article. Basically, it is responsible for factory farming (instead of family farms), HFCS (instead of actual sugar), and other far-reaching effects.

The 2023 Farm Bill is projected to spend $700 billion over the next five years, with powerful industry lobbyists directing funds to enrich themselves at the expense of agricultural communities, human health, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability. It's far from its original intention: to help struggling farmers and hungry citizens during The Great Depression and Dustbowl.
