Baylen Linnekin on the State of Food Policy

From the USDA’s ridiculous expansion of the
National School Lunch Program to the FDA’s move to ban trans fats,
this year’s developments in the area of food policy have been
downright terrifying so far. As Baylen Linnekin recently observed
here at Reason.com, “February 2014 may go down as the worst month
for food freedom since the New Deal era.”

While Linnekin stands by that claim, he also knows a little

experts to explain what they each see as the most interesting
food-policy development so far this year—for better or worse. Their
answers range from heritage hog bans to the “sriracha
apocalypse.”
