Family Farming

Americans decry the decline of family farming but stand by helplessly as industrial agribusiness takes over. The prevailing sentiment is that family farms should survive for important social, ethical, and economic reasons. But will they? This timely book exposes the biases in American farm policies that irrationally encourage expansion, biases evident in federal commodity programs, income tax provisions, and subsidized credit services. Family Farming also exposes internal conflicts, particularly the conflict between the private interests of individual farmers and the public interest in family farming as a whole. It challenges the assumption that bigger is better, critiques the technological basis of modern agriculture, and calls for farming practices that are ethical, economical, and ecologically sound. The alternative policies discussed in this book could yet save the family farm, and the ways and means of saving it are argued here with special urgency. This Bison Books edition includes a new introduction by the author providing a more national perspective, underscoring the repetitive cycles of American agriculture over the decade, and assessing the major policy issues that have dominated agriculture in recent years.

Dropped LDL by 38 at one year check up
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I am a 48 year old female weighing 126 lbs. I want to praise this product for reducing cholesterol levels. I have seen the cardiologist to be proactive since my dad died of heart disease and because it runs on both sides of the family. My cholesterol levels have been borderline high for several years but not to the point of needing medication. In April 2025 it was the highest levels so far. I had been eating healthy cereals and exercising at that time so I was surprised it had increased. I have taken this supplement daily for a full year without missing many doses. I just had my yearly check up on April 1, 2026, and my total cholesterol dropped by 37 and the bad LDL dropped by 38. I am very please with my results. All my levels were in the optimal range except the LDL and It was in the nearly optimal range per the Labcorp graph and total cholesterol was in the acceptable range. I have not exercised in 8 months and I eat a lot of fast food, so this product is the only explanation for the improvement. I also started the Megared CoQ10 about 5 weeks before my labs but it wouldn't be long enough to be that helpful yet. I am going to stay on the CoQ10 in addition to the Megared 4 in 1 product to see if it further lowers the LDL to the optimal range next year. In one year with no diet changes or exercise: Cholesterol total went from 228 to 191 LDL Cholesterol went from 161 to 123 The only thing I do not like about the product is the price but with those results I can't complain. It is worth it.

Stay healthy
Good pill size, and new lemon flavor. Has all the great omega Three, and fish oil for brain, heart and joints. Good price and quality. Easy to swallow with no bad burping as long as you keep it refrigerated. Works fast and is a great choice.
