_ Not only has the "Super Committee" been making cuts in education but now they are coming after our food? Being a future educator I find this to be extremely disconcerting and I am disgusted. This blog gives valid facts about whose “belts are being tightened”: Nutrition, Job Creation, Support for Farmers and Farmland and Food Safety. This is the opposite of what needs to happen. With the question raised as to whether or not the local farmers markets could yield enough produce and meat to support the entire United States of America; this is not possible. If we use this as part of the interviewing process, I feel we could gain enough information to prove a valid point.

I definitely agree with you how this is ashame that now they want to come after the food produced. I think it would be wise and interesting to ask the local famers whether they believe they think local farmers could produce enough food for the United States rather than these big food indutries. It would be neat to interview atleast two local farmers to get other view points and perspectives on the topic.

Emily,

I really liked your first sentence, "...coming after food?" They better not come after our food. It really pisses me off as to what our world is coming too. Do you think it is possible for local farmer's markets to produce enough for their community? If there were a farmer's market in each community, would their be enough? Your cartoon is great! Good luck with your project.
