In the past decade, for instance, we have doled out more than $3 billion in direct subsidies to large-scale livestock producers. And thanks to federal corn and soybean subsidies, factory farms saved an estimated $3.9 billion a year between 1997 and 2005, totaling nearly $35 billion, according to researchers at the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University.

welcome back you ungrateful whiners. c'mon, you all know you love the fair duty and all that accompanies it. The heat, the odor, the southern hospitality, the food, the command, and the "extra curricular activities". lets be safe out there this year and dont give the department a reason to send you home early. nobody likes to leave a fair early.

So here we are, the last day of the month and lets be honest, after a quite scintillating start to the month we are here at its end with roughly the same profit as we had after four days. To label this month anti-climactic would be an insult to anti-climaxes. Its hard to know where exactly [...]
