Subject: Why Are Twinkies Cheaper Than Carrots?
To: Jorge Saguiinsin <jorge.saguinsin@gmail.com>
| Dear Jorge, If you want to eat healthfully, you have to fight an uphill battle. Why are government subsidies pushing in the wrong direction?
My dad, John Robbins and I have just written an explosive new piece currently featured on the Huffington Post. We expose where government subsidies are really going, who's profiting, and how the rest of us end up footing the bill with our health as well as our tax dollars. A Call To Action In a week, the US Senate will begin floor debate on the 2012 Farm Bill, which lays the groundwork for nearly $1 trillion in US government spending over the next decade. The food blog Civil Eats calls the current Senate proposal an "all-you-can-eat-buffet for the subsidy lobby." The good news is that people are waking up, and you can join in the movement! Increasing numbers of people across partisan lines are calling for government policy to stop supporting the loudest lobbyists, and to start supporting the health of the population. Check out this new article here.
