Would people support a national food relief program

that guaranteed nobody in the US went hungry, if it was managed by giving out subsidies to the poor and working class that had to be used to buy food grown by Monsanto?

2. No. Corporatism is bad and only leads to more suffering in the end. nt

3. Can't they just eat their bootstraps?

They don't seem to be using them, anyway....

But I do agree. We're arguing about health care, but isn't food even more of a basic necessity?

4. It is a more basic necessity

I don't think politicians are willing to admit that, though. Because it is a more basic necessity - and because we're conditioned to think of starving people as being in the undeveloped world - there is more shame associated with people going hungry.

I was partly wondering how far people are willing to go in a compromise. I think most of us realize that consolidating yet more power in the hands of monsanto will in the long run result in more people starving. If that's the only way to get people fed now, would we support it? I don't know.
