While ex magazine editor and brother of an actress is jetting around the country promoting his latest book the real experts in the food industry (educated farmers ranchers university professors in the field are fighting back). We are not responsible for the obesity epidemic, its the guy or gal that looks back at them in the mirror.

Okay. Isn't the whole point of industry to make money?
Maybe the government should run the food industry so that we can ensure that it is operated in the interests of the public good instead of profit. Imagine how much healthier we'd all be.
And we would only need to eat government approved foods. We'd have the government to protect us from all that high fructose corn syrup and other processed foods. It would be great.
Imagine how much more efficient it would be without that pesky profit motive.

On sided...Yes
I'm and Iowa raised family farm boy. I fully support the dying family farms. I am completely against the Factory Farms.......My opinion is biased.
Prior to the Factory farms and multi thousand head feedlots we never heard about fish kills in our area creeks and rivers. The river I grew up on fishing and tubing as a kid is off limits today because of the ecoli level. This river is also a major tributary to the Mississippi.....which now carries warnings on fish consumption.
The land we farmed averaged about 100 bushels to the acre when I was growing up. Today it's more than 180 bushels the acre thanks in large to genetics and chemicals. Some of this is good but the bad is......My Mom and Dad can't drink the water from the well. They have bottled water for drinking because of the nitrate levels.
It easy to tout the positive and ingnore the negative when we want to promote our own agenda's.
