"Farmer in Chief"

Reworking food production to make it more green and regional is possible, even though the process will be expensive and take a long time. Despite the tremendous requirements to rework the food production industry, the benefits of a greener, healthier and localized America are worth it. The current government regulation and the large companies, like Monsanto, that have contracts with farmers are at stake. The current tax rates, government spending and the budget are also at stake because if the government undertook this project, all of what was listed previously would increase. The idea of fast, cheap, and convenient food would be exchanged for inconvenient, expensive, healthy and quality food. This is because meat processing plants and feedlots would not exist because the livestock would be moved to the fields. If livestock moved back to the fields, the sun would feed the animals instead of fossil fuels and corn that produce diseases like E. coli, resulting in green farming. But meat would also be more expensive because it would take more labor and time to grow a cow, resulting in quality meat. As a result of expensive and inconvenient food, America would become more healthy because food wouldn’t be as cheap and accessible.
