The State of Food in the US

Just some facts for you to think about before you go shopping for food:

- Four companies process more than 85% of U.S. beef cattle.
- Two companies sell 50% of U.S. corn seed.
- One company controls 40% of the U.S. milk supply.
- Five firms dominate the grocery sector, ensuring that low prices paid to farmers aren't passed along to consumers at the store.

I'll be posting more on the WONDERFUL news about Austin becoming a No Kill City as soon as a news report runs with the story. This vote happened earlier today and there are no news stories reporting it right now.

I'll also be posting more on the information above along with a petition that you can sign urging Congress to break up the Big Ag control of our food supply. I'll update both stories either today or tomorrow.
