I never read the Hightower Lowdown before, though apparently Jim Hightower did speak at Gettysburg College a few years back and basically transformed Dickson from carnivorous distance runner to mild-mannered vegetarian. Anyway, a recent article on his webpage ( http://www.hightowerlowdown.org/node/1364) explains the antagonistic forces at work on America's small farms - the threat of the National Animal Identification System. Please read this and do what you can to help save America's threatened agricultural heritage.
And while you're at it, check this out as well, from Gourmet Magazine!
