The idea that people in these small, agricultural towns are so desperate that they will do anything just to try to keep up and survive while huge corporations exploit the hell out of them makes me sick to my stomach.

After all, kobe beef cattle are fed beer, and that gives us steaks of wonderful tenderness and flavor. I'm all for eating a Peep that was raised on vodka! The cigarettes I can do without.<br /><br />Thanks for another great column.
