My new article is up at Mises.org,”Pork: The Government’s Other White Meat.” A history of government intervention and the resulting “white” meat.

Isn’t it exciting to see the head-scratching going on as libertarians slowly begin to embrace earth stewardship as one of the ultimate freedoms? Not the current version of environmentalism mind you (EnviroCommunism), but real conservation such as that practiced by food freedomist farmers all over America, and the world, who utilize pasture-based, grass-fed, and rotational [...]

In July, the show Outdoor Idaho, on Idaho Public television, ran an episode titled, “Eating Local.” This excellent show explores “the growing fascination with eating local.” But while I appreciate and love my own local food scene, I wonder why the desire and search for high-quality, non-industrial food almost always ends with the “local” argument. Oddly [...]

Rod Dreher, the leftover Crunchy Con from National Review who now writes for the American Conservative, is ascared of raw milk because the government (the CDC) says we should fear raw milk.

Mother Earth News has rerun an article that originally appeared on Food Safety News about a woman who has been forced to use back door tactics to sell her homemade, fermented, gut-healthy sauerkraut. Boyce’s ‘kraut was a hit, selling out each week — until her county health department promptly asked her to stop. Without testing her [...]

In the city ghettos, the police state has always resorted to giving away gift cards for athletic shoes – such as at Footlocker – in exchange for local folks turning in a gun. Then the media follows up by bragging about how many guns the program took in, without ever questioning how the program actually [...]

This is a fantastic interview on the part of Dr. Mercola, with anarcho-farmer Joel Salatin. There are many great interviews with Joel ’round the web, but this interview is very different than the norm. In fact, one focus is around the spontaneous order of farm-to-food. Joel brings up some great points about the problem of [...]
