<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' ><tr><td valign='top' style='font: inherit;'>While I agree with the point that we'll all be a lot healthier when we cut meat out of our diet, I still think how agriculture is controlled and 'regulated' in this country should be of concern to all of us. Daniel's message about strangling small farmers with regulations (and subsidizing corporate farming at the same time) impacts all of us since we're all threatened by the huge amounts of pesticides, for instance, that corporate farming relies on, polluting the land, water, etc. We can eat the best diet available but we're all still living in the same world and it all 'comes home to roost' eventually, if you'll pardon the expression.<br><br>Jay<br><br><div id="RTEContent"><div id="RTEContent"><div><strong> </strong><em></em><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Declare It Now!
