Thanks for posting this! This is clearly a loop hole our facsist government is using to give our tax dollars to the pork and poultry industries. They are using our tax dollars to pay for antibiotics, steroids, and hormones to purchase from the big pharm companies! I have had it with all politicians! What has happened to America?

Explain to me how a loan-forgiveness clause in the health care bill effects giving tax dollars to farming industries? And then explain to me why government subsidies of struggling farm industries (who may indeed use that money to pay for medical supplies to keep their stock in good condition, which is not necessarily wrong in itself) are bad?

"First, its affects not effects. You obviously have not taken the time to watch Food, Inc or Future of Food. Watch it and get back to me on that point."

Effect, v.- To produce as an effect; bring about; accomplish; make happen. Or, in the terms of a 7th grade English primer, "Explain to me how a loan-forgiveness clause in the health care bill *produces the effect of* ("effects") giving tax dollars to farming industries?"

And second of all, it's "it's," not "its."

And third of all, if you wish to make a point to back up your criticisms of the meat industry, then make it and cite your sources if you have any, but I will not go slogging through whatever films you are talking about to try to piece together whatever arguments you thought you were trying to make.

Those idiots won't rest until we are a third world nation. I wish I could understand their thinking, its like an illness or something. The sad thing is, if you gave them a crystal ball to look into the future and see the damage they are creating, they still would probably take the same course of action ! They are the antichrist. Have you ever heard of the swine flu !? fucking terrorists bitch
