RE: The real cost of a loaf of bread
YES! Cutting out the middleman also gives the farmer security by not having to rely on the volatile commodities market which also means that at times they have to nearly give away crops. We prefer to settle on a price that both parties feel is fair...and avoid basing it on the commodities market. Commodities markets are such a vile evil. Bravo for taking a step even further to not support the abuse of farming families through that economic manipulation tool.
Yes. The Federal Government setup the Task Force on Agriculture in the 60's and wrote their White Paper which recommended getting ride of the family farm event though they recognized that the family farm is the most efficient method of food production. They wiped it out in favor of managing food production. That is the start of the commercialization and industrialization of the food system. It has been a violent take over ever since. Vile Evil is a good term to use.
