OxFam Americahas the scoop on the Farm Bill. It has not passed the Senate yet. FYI.

Still Standing

I apologize for the long hiatus. I had started an entry on the new farm bill, but I ran out of energy and then it ended up passing in the House before I got around to finishing it. I honestly have no idea if the Senate has passed it as well. But if they haven't, I suggest writing to your Senators and complaining that the Farm Bill continues to subsidize factory farming and makes school children obese with its antiquated school lunch program.

On another note, I will probably not be producing entries with any regularity for the foreseeable future. I'm experiencing a bit of compassion fatigue. I'm still trying to live as ethically as possible, but I just don't have it in me to do the research that I usually do for these entries. However, if anyone is interested in submitting some comments about issues they want me to talk about, I will try to respond, at the very least with my opinion and some links to other resources.
