*Celebrate, But Organize*
*What the Democrats' win means for the sustainable-food movement*

 Just because Democrats are taking the reins of Congress doesn't mean that
U.S. agricultural policies will suddenly shift. Many of last week's winners
are fans of big-ag policies that are -- how to put this? -- trashing land
and livelihoods around the country. Tom Philpott investigates the food
politics of the new regime, and describes what's in store for 2007, when
Congress will hammer out a new five-year Farm Bill.
