It’s not only Sarah Palin who thinks that America is the world’s essential nation because Americans are exceptionally worthy. All too many of us Yanks continue to believe that we’re the smartest, hardest working and most self-reliant people on Earth. And that God or evolution or just history has rewarded us with superpower status and super riches because we deserve it.
Well, if you believe any of that, Joel Salatin has come to give you a good spanking.
Geniuses at Xbox — At food, not so much

Salatin, a sustainable farmer in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, has made a second career as a cultural critic by goading people who live in big cities into caring not merely about food but also about farms and farmers. Quite an accomplishment, given that several branches of the US government have decided that farming is no longer a valid profession.

The US government has decided that only Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate are valid endeavors. Let the Chinese do the value-added stuff.
