Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal

In "Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal," renowned ecological farmer and marketer Joel Salatin shares his 40 years of experience in the food industry with wit and fervor. Published in 2007, this compelling 352-page book delves into the restrictive regulations that limit Americans' freedom to choose the food they buy and consume. Salatin highlights how bureaucratic policies, from child labor laws to stringent food inspections, favor large industrial food corporations while stifling local, community-based food systems. As a result, consumers face a homogenized selection of mediocre food options. This insightful read not only sheds light on the complexities of food law and legislation in the United States but also advocates for a return to organic farming and sustainable practices. Perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of business, agriculture, and social science, Salatin's engaging narrative invites readers to reconsider the implications of their food choices.
