Words you will never hear an American politician say:
"The American lifestyle is indeed negotiable."

my favorite dispatch on the food crisis so far comes from paul krugman, who divided the causes of the crisis into those that "aren't anyone's fault" and bad policies. the bad policies include subsidies to biofuels and invading iraq. the forces of nature that we have no control over include drought, rising oil prices, and increasing meat eating.
if only we had some control over our compulsion to drive and eat meat!
