[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1805494, member: 7488"] Forget the health insurance question for a minute. The simpler solution is for the government not to pay farmers to grow products at a loss, like corn or canola or soy, and for us to use more holistic products instead (like grass and clover livestock feed, sugar-based sweeteners, etc). But then we'd biotch about the free market prices of these things. Edit to add: Some of you guys may want to check our [I][URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1112115/"]King Corn[/URL][/I]. It's a documentary, but not quite as pointed as some the others out there. It shows the basics of how subsidized monoculture agriculture works. It gives perspectives from the farmers, the Coops, the USDA executives that implemented the subsidy programs. It's pretty informative without terribly vilifying anyone on the whole. But yea, 44 ounce sugared sodas are going to be the downfall of our country. Seriously. Not healthcare mandates, not firearms freedoms, not same sex marriage. We're all gonna kill ourselves first.
