The article mentions "enlightened eaters." I have a real problem with that. It sounds so elitist and holier-than-thou. I like your distinction of an "educated eater" - it implies that we have absolute control over the amount of knowledge we have about the food we eat. Which, of course, we do...in spite of the government's (and corporate food industry's) efforts to keep us in the dark.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237921600705834870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918674200338298429.post-21389170367349890242007-08-16T09:01:00.000-04:002007-08-16T09:01:00.000-04:00What can you say about the Farm Bill?

Nearly every man, woman, and child in the middle states is either a corn farmer, is related to a corn farmer, or depends on corn farmers for their living. The is a lot of electoral votes. Also, I have to disagree with one point he makes. When he talks about what the Eaters want... The critical missing adjective here is, educated. Educated Eaters want... Sadly, the larger percentage of Eaters, the uneducated ones, just want their food cheap. Again pointing back to politics. How many votes is a candidate likely to get if they say, "I support a bill that will most likely raise the price of food."? As is so often the case, education is the key.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926872359403916012noreply@blogger.com
