Checkoff Programs & Subsidies

In this episode we discuss two of America's dirty little secrets: checkoff programs & subsidies. We mention how the Federal government contradicts its own nutrition guidelines by recommending foods that are low in cholesterol and saturated fat, but them promote the purchasing of animal products that contribute to the very foods it suggest Americans should avoid.. We also mention how agriculture subsidies deflate commodity prices which leads to America's dumping its surplus into third world countries negatively impacting their markets.
