Add:
The Farm Bill is perhaps the single most significant land use legislation enacted in the United States, yet many citizens remain unaware of its power and scope. With subsidies ballooning toward $25 billion per year, the Farm Bill largely dictates who grows what crops, on what acreage, and under what conditions, all with major impacts on the country's rural economies, health and nutrition, and biodiversity. As debate and wrangling over the 2007 Farm Bill intensifies, Food Fight offers a highly...

About half the total volume of America's municipal solid waste is packaged - at least 800 pounds per person each year - and the "upstream" costs in...
