Top Court Considers Beef Ad Campaign Case

These programs are just obnoxious. Basically, organic and grass based farmers (like me) are forced to pay to subsidize advertising for the feedlots and factory farms: it's robbing the family farm to pay the corporations. Given the track record of other programs like this before the Court, I don't think this one has an ice cube's chance in the Christian Hell of surviving.

Good riddence!

A food fight broke out at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, with justices considering whether the government can force farmers to pay for ad campaigns with catchy phrases like "Beef: It's what's for dinner" and billboards featuring milk mustaches on celebrities.
