[SustainableTompkins] The Food Bill

[Michael Dineen]

Many of us are not familiar with the Farm Bill and it's importance to our
lives.  Here's a really great description of what's going on.  It's by
Michael Pollan, author of "The Omnivore's Dilemma" (which i would recommend
to everyone).

If any of you really ARE familiar with the Farm Bill, its politics and its
implications for the quality of our food, the health of the environment, its
effect on animals, and our hopes for a sustainable way of life, and you
would like to pass-on your knowledge to an interested group, i'd like to
talk to you about speaking to a Back To Democracy meeting in Trumansburg.
