If you wanted to do something that would help promote vegetarianism you could suggest a bill that alters the current Farm Bill in the USA. This bill heavily subsidizes corn and other products commonly fed to livestock. livestock is cheaper to produce partly because the livestock can be fed so cheaply as well as from other government subsidies. If The Farm bill instead subsidized healthier foods, then fruits and vegetables could become cheaper. Meat, without government subsidies, would become more expensive and potentially less popular. This could help encourage vegetarianism and help to reduce the environmental damage caused by meat and corn production.

OK, here's my sugestion ("Oh God!" I hear you say ;).

I heard a statement today that America was at the height of its power when people owned their own farms and basically took care of themselves. The rest of the world looked up to us because we did not have a large government telling us what to do and forcing us into situations we were not comfortable with. Other countries had large, corrupt, governments and the citizens had little rights.

Instead of large corporations like Walmart and animal farms (instead of free range), we had mom and pop stores. People were in control of their destinies.

But on the other hand they didn't have TVs, iPods, game consoles, iPhones, cars, breast implants, Viagra e-mail spam, youtube, google, facebook, tweeter, etc.

hmmm, forget I said anything ;)
