Food in America

David Beckmann from Bread for the World was on PBS last night - being interviewed by Bill Moyers.  You can see the interview at the following link:

Congress and the Bush Administration are currently working a new farm bill.  The old farm bill is set to expire on April 18, 2008.  Hopefully, the new farm bill will cut some of the farming subsidies that go towards large farmers and begin to help smaller, locally focused farmers.  

Watching the video will help you understand more of the current American food/farming realities.
