This article has more of the American commenters. More outrage about this shameful situation. I'm deeply troubled by all of this. Several problems that have been knocking around in my mind finally came to a head when I heard about the proposed food stamp cuts.

I want to go deeper. To the point of growing food. Not just gardening for fun but really making food available in a serious way. Pretty much farming. I've thought about this before, but this is becoming more urgent, I realize. I've been disheartened by a report I listened to on NPR about how hard it is to get any help with becoming a small farmer. All the subsidies are helping giant corn and soybean farms and factory production of meat. We are really and truly screwing ourselves. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
