America and India Respond to Rising Food Prices

America: Let’s introduce S. 510, a bill so poorly designed that not only will it fail to increase food safety (as the FDA doesn’t have the budget to properly enforce it), but it will increase food prices even further as most small food producers, farmer’s markets, and organic growers in particular will not be able to afford to comply and go out of business (which decreases the food supply and increase prices).

India: Let’s open vegetable sales counters in an effort to make sure our own people can afford to eat despite the spiralling prices of essential commodities and vegetables (as it’s unconscionable that our own people can’t afford onions).

What response do you think is better?
