MEATONOMIC$ 
What can I as an individual do to affect policy change so that our government stops supporting animal industries. I think that if Americans had to pay the real price of animal products they would consume a lot less!
I loved David Simon’s seminar in Melbourne, Florida recently. Very enlightening and instructive. As a vegan, I would also like to be more involved in effecting anti-animal rights ag gag laws and industrial agriculture’s stranglehold on government subsidies and lies in advertising. Any suggestions?

I loved this book!
Where can I find more information on the meat and dairy industry? I am currently writing a paper and I want to discuss the economic and health impacts that this industry’s activities has on society. Also, do you have data for countries outside the US (particularly Canada)?
I am in the middle of “Meatonomics” and pretty much disgusted with what the government has allowed. I am 50 and in college majoring In polisci to hopefully get a law degree before I turn 60. In my twilight years I hope to be an advocate for healthy living and the environment especially in disadvantaged communities that are often food deserts. I commend you for this book.
