Scary report on plans for National Grocery Reform, a report you might expect to see about the government of Hugo Chavez. Alas, this is about the USA. Excerpt:

One of the great scandals of our age is the fact that America spends more on food than any other nation. Many political leaders are now calling for urgent reform to bring spending on food under control. Even worse, while the result of this uncontrolled spending includes the fact that many Americans are overweight, some Americans do not have enough to eat.

Read what progressive candidates are saying about the "Right to Food", and the "need to equalize availability of food". Unsurprisingly, progressive proposals would target the "administrative overhead required to make a profit” in the food industry. Also not a surprise, progressives see "corporate greed" as "the heart of the problem".

Does this surprise you? Are you alarmed? Don’t be. This National Grocery Reform report is a parody, one of my all time favorites. It is not reality – YET - though it does seem many times more believable today than when published on Capitalism Magazine.
