at a low? And why are regulatory barriers keeping small producers out of the business of food production? And how did we - the constituency, the consumers, the all-powerful "demand" part of the supply-and-demand equation -- ever buy in to the notion that the institutionalization of our food supply is inexorable and must be suffered with stoic cynicism and resignation? And what is there to do about it? The answers to these questions matter, because the ultimate costs of these trends are huge, in terms of food quality, in terms of resource damage, and at many other levels. But the worst damage of all is the loss of whole communities and ways of life ... ways that have worked for centuries. Entrepreneurship - and the freedom to be entrepreneurial - is a huge part of what made this country great, and in the food business, it's in grave danger. A quiet robbery has been happening right under our noses, and the villains and the victims are NOT who we think they are. I have met Salatin and visited his farm, and he is the genuine item. His book is a must-read for everyone who cherishes freedom. 79 of 82 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars A frightening but honest view of our government Jan 21 2008 By Dave Lillie - Published on Amazon.com Format: Paperback Joel Salatin provides an honest, albiet frightening, view of what it is like trying to run a small business in
