USDA Helps and Hurts

Fascinating angle on the interaction between crony politics and weight gain.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/22/new-report-links-agricultural-subsidies-to-childhood-obesity/#ixzz1ZHq1YPBG

But the real problem is the fact that the USDA insists on weighing in about what foods are or are not healthy, but lacks to science to back up their assertions.

  1. And now the USDA is trying to provide new life into their Animal ID system (which will hurt small farms). Seems like if you aren't sure about which side of an issue to be on, check with the USDA and pick the opposite one.
