Broken clock
yeah curiously this is like the second thing I could actually get behind.
what was the first?
Think he wanted a junkfood tax? Though that could also be thought of as a poor tax.
yeah. I think an outright ban on nasty chemicals would be better probably. No need to tax shit homeless people depend on for survival.
anti corn syrup
Yeah the other thing I agree with him on is bringing in Joel Salatin’s approach to regenerative agriculture. This is all about building up soil health and soil ecosystems rather than conventional fertilizer and heavy tillage.
I don't think a forced change like that is really necessary The only reason it really stopped in the first place is because corn is so subsidized by the government that it is cheaper and less work to just keep expanding land and planting more corn fields. Stop the outrageous subsidizing of corn and corn based products and it would make sense for farmers to rotate/sustain crop fields and diversify crops.
