I don't think there's much doubt in the power of subsidies to drive industry -- the basis of capitalism is the market goes where the money is. That we spend so much in one area that ends up driving up costs so dramatically in another (health care), however, is simply extraordinary.
I mean, just compare the above graphic to this:

Really? There's nothing about lazy IT dorks in it...
Seriously, how do you feel about the pharmaceutical aspect of your career? I didn't actually consult any doctor types about this...

Hey everybooty,
So I decided to enter the CBC contest, "Canada's Next Great Prime Minister." You have to make a 5 minute video, explaining your one great idea that will make the country better. Andy was gracious enough to lend his cinematographic skills. WHATTAGUY! Anyway, it'd be great if you watched it, and maybe even sent it along to a friend. Unless you think I'm an idiot, in which case, ok.
You can see it here...
Or, right here.

okay... sorry I'm slow...
9:30 it is! I'm going to be at the Garneau around 9:15 to get a ticket and stand in line. Hope to see a couple of you there!

I am preemptively bored tonight. Anyone interested in going to see Into The Wild with me? It's playing at the Garneau at 6:45 and 9:30. Let me know via phone (430 8812), e-mail or the board.
Everyone I've talked to has said it's really good, and Eddie Vedder did the soundtrack.

I wonder how this would look in Canada, but a look at the state of food subsidies in the US relative to public health goals is both unsurprising in substance and very surprising in scale. This graphic pretty much says it all:

"We are recommending five servings or more of vegetables and fruit daily because, like physical activity, they pack a double whammy against cancer," panel member Dr. Phillip James said in releasing the 517-page report.
"Probable evidence indicates they help reduce cancer risk on their own, and as low energy-dense foods, they help maintain a healthy weight, which the evidence shows has a big influence on cancer risk," James said.
