I might be interning for Adam Putnam (Florida 12th District), so I'll get to go to the House meetings of the Committee of Agriculture. Just think of it as 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'...with a twist. He just voted for funding for more efficent farming to 'feed more people on fewer acres'. A few other programs has agriculture and environment professions working hand and hand. Of course, a lot of these acomplishment's go unnoticed, just like most of the business in the House and Senete. I mean, you have to like C-SPAN, for one thing, which is darn near impossible. And I'll plan on fighting to good fight. Ask any of my exs -- I am very stubborn and does not settle for anything less than perfection. Which also may explain why I am single. [no no no]

I do respectfully disagree with my proposals not being realistic. Getting the country to stop eating meat...heck, I can't even get my dad to stop eating oreos and pennut butter together. Change people minds is easy...changing their stomachs, on the other hand, is darn hard. Besides, if people will pay fifty dollars for a video game and thousand of dollars for rims on a car, I think putting an extra twenty cents per pound is not that much lol.

I don't think its a matter of people not knowing. I think people know the evils in the industry -- Sinclair's The Jungle has been around for years, and it caused a huge effect on people. I think its a matter of making the option popular. If small-time farming was encouraged, people would stop buying meat at the supermarkets. Current trends are leading towards responsible food consumption, all that's needed is some publicity. It lets people have their cake (or pork or beef or what not) and eat it too.

And I think someone at PETA needed to proof-read that headline. It gives the wrong impression... :lol:
