Congress Should Ban Advertising That Preys Upon

I've Written About Illegal Immigrants In The United States; I Spent A Year Following Migrant Farm Workers As They Were Harvesting. I've Written About Our Criminal Justice System, And How It Treats The Victims Of Crime. I've Been Working For Years Now On A Book About Prisons In America, And I've Been Going Into Prisons And Traveling Around The Country And Seeing What's Going On.

The Way We Eat Has Changed More In The Last 50 Years Than In The Previous 10,000…. Now Our Food Is Coming From Enormous Assembly Lines Where The Animals And The Workers Are Being Abused, And The Food Has Become Much More Dangerous In Ways That Are Deliberately Hidden From Us. This Isn’t Just About What We’re Eating. It’s About What We’re Allowed To Say. What We’re Allowed To Know.

Congress Should Ban Advertising That Preys Upon Children, It Should Stop Subsidizing Dead-end Jobs, It Should Pass Tougher Food Safety Laws, It Should Protect American Workers From Serious Harm, It Should Fight Against Dangerous Concentrations Of Economic Power.

Fast Food Is Popular Because It's Convenient, It's Cheap, And It Tastes Good. But The Real Cost Of Eating Fast Food Never Appears On The Menu.

Fast Food Is Inexpensive, Convenient, And It Tastes Good. I'm All In Favor Of That. My Problem Is How Heavily Processed It Is - How Full Of Salt, Fat, And Sugar It Is.
