Details: Drawing on 40 years of experience as an environmentally conscious farmer and marketer, Joel Salatin discusses with satire and enthusiasm why Americans are not able to choose the food they buy and consume. From child labor laws to food inspection, bureaucrats provide themselves with absolute control over what food is on the local marketplace available. Their system favors industrial, global corporate food systems and discourages community-based food trade, resulting in homogenized selection, mediocre quality and exposure to non-organic farming practices.
