Yes, we should subsidise agriculture in pursuit of things like food security and a healthy society. That's what we both said. Blindly throwing money at big agri-business is not good for either.

As a North American living in the belly of the beast... smack dab in the middle of our agri-industrial complex... you don't want to be subsidizing big agri-business. Believe me... we been there...HELL WE ARE THERENOW... and it sucks.

On the other hand subsizing good small cheese makers... I am all in favor of that. And wine... and olives... and local produce...

Let the morons outside my town make the crappy frankenfood... the ag commodity business is just one more race to the bottom from what I can tell.
