Quantcast Vegetarian StarBarack Obama and food policy

Obama Speaks On Jobs, Energy, And Climate Change

“The fact that we subsidize some of these big, agribusiness operations that are not necessarily producing healthy foods, and we discourage, or we don’t subsidize farmers who are producing fruits and vegetables and small scale farming that gets produce immediately to consumers as opposed to having it processed…The fact that we’re not doing more to ensure that healthy food is in the schools. All those things don’t make sense. It is important for us to re-examine our overall food policy.”

—-Barack Obama during a speech on the campaign trail last year.
