Great Documentary on Farm Subsidies (our tax dollars!)

My Cruelty-Free Fave today is the documentary King Corn. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend your adding it to your Netflix queue today. It’s a very user-friendly way of understanding government farm subsidies, and how federal legislation — through the farm bill – puts our tax dollars in motion to create “cheap” prices for certain products at the grocery store. King Corn is a real eye-opener about the far-reaching effects of grain subsidies and factory farming here in America. Regarding animal welfare, the environment, and public health — it’s a must see.

Here’s a trailer for the documentary:

Heads Up!
Tomorrow, I’ll be posting a more in-depth look at farm subsidies and how they work on my Animals & the Law blog.
