Fighting the Good Fight
RECEIVED Mon., March 20, 2006
Dear Editor,
I want to think you for running the article on Carol Sayles and her chickens [“Food-o-File,” Food, March 17]. I am in Arkansas and have fewer than 20 goats, a few chickens, a couple of horses, and am handicapped. My SSI income does not cover the bills, nor am I allowed food stamps, so taking my meat, milk, and eggs away would be devastating. It would take my independence, my right to live my life, my health, and my good, clean garden mulch. We little guys are fighting this with all our might, and for everyone like you that helps get the word out, it makes it a little easier.
