Have you been napping? Haven't you noticed that the incompetent U.S. Federal Government want to centralize everything it can, making it as necessary as possible for American citizens to be totally dependent on them for everything. It's called "socialism", which only works for politicians...particularly corrupt politicians. It needs to be stopped...but I'm not countin' on it! More and more of us have our hand out for their "free stuff"! :-(

You're reading Why does the US Gov. still want to centralize the food industry? Subsidies are being cut, forcing smaller producers out of business. Does the Gov. realize all the possible repurcussions of centralizing the food industry? Will you still try to buy local?

I'll try posting in two seperate posts due to waiting forever for one to post: Nope, haven't been napping. :-) Just wondering the governments line of thinking on some if not most matters. I've heard that one processing plant in the midwest processes beef for 500,000 homes. I had to ask myself how safe can that be. How much money is wasted(and how much safety can be compromised) by growing a product, shipping it 1/2 way across the country to be processed and then ship it back to it's original area?

Silly politicians, don't they know tricks are for kids? Buy local, and lets drive the big guys out of business. I asked the Q because the price for milk in my area is $11.24 per hundred weight, costing nearly double for local farmers to produce and subsidies are being cut forcing small timers out of business. Now I have to ask myself, where's a guy in his late 40's to early 50's going to find a job in todays economy.
