America’s food and farm systems are ensnared by outdated regulations that prohibit consumers from choosing better-quality options — at great cost to our freedom and health.

America’s food system is enslaved by outdated and prejudicial regulations that lock out entrepreneurs, elevate food prices, and condemn consumers to second-rate fare. Big Food and Big Ag government-corporate oligarchies do not exist because of capitalism or anemic antitrust enforcement; their power and control derive from collusion and corruption in regulatory development and enforcement. Unleashing small-farm food-preneurs on America’s retail marketplace is the answer to almost everything that’s wrong in agriculture and food. Drawing on his lifetime experience fighting for food choice among consenting adults, Joel Salatin offers a winning strategy against tyranny by unleashing freedom and liberty.
