Where do politics, fitness, and your local grocery store meet?  In the farm bill that Congress reviews and renews every five years.  It's up for renewal during this Congressional year, but it is not the unimportant snorex that most urbanites might think.

Michael Pollan wrote an article for the New York Times Magazine that explains how the farm bill has far-reaching consequences, from the prices at your grocery store, to the raging obesity in our society, the sorry state of school lunches, immigration, and foreign policy.  It's time for us to stop letting the status quo continue unchallenged, if for no other reason than the ridiculous situation the status quo represents.
