From child labor regulations to food inspection, bureaucrats provide themselves sole discretion over what food is available in the local marketplace. Their system favors industrial, global corporate food systems and discourages community-based food commerce, resulting in homogenized selection, mediocre quality, and exposure to non-organic farming practices. Salatin's expert insight explains why local food is expensive and difficult to find and will illuminate for the reader a deeper understanding of the industrial food complex. 820958 17 9 2007 Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal total:102|5:39|4:41|3:17|2:5|1:0| 102 420 396 34 4 5 false false Mon Mar 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 09:16:14 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 09:20:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 11:34:18 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 11:42:57 -0700 2008 5 1 false false Tue Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 08:27:55 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 05:43:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Apr 29 06:57:05 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 12:22:10 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 06:57:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 20:08:33 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 20:08:48 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 24 08:18:16 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 08:35:18 -0800 2009
