Bittman on Agricultural Subsidies

Here's an interesting article from the food writer/ cookbook author Mark Bittman about Farm Subsidies, suggesting that we not eliminate them, as some have argued we should do--but that instead we should reconfigure them to help encourage the kind of agriculture we need.

This fact struck me, taken from a Tufts University study:  Bittman writes that "between 1997 and 2005 subsidies saved chicken, pork, beef and HFCS producers roughly $26.5 billion."  Click the link below to see the article.
