  Helping out

  This sounds like a really neat idea.  I really enjoy my time on Facebook, and would love to help this community out any way that I can.

  processed food

  "Does America have the food system we deserve?" ...no it doesn't, it has what is convenient and what we can afford.  Especially now with that prices of food have gone up due to corn being used to unsuccessfully fuel vehicles, we don't have much of a choice.  It would be great to have different choices, but with everything costing about the same it's very unlikely.  

  A lot of the convenience is due to younger parents, and not enough education on how to cook properly, rather then eating something that has been processed.  I'll admit that I eat a lot of processed foods, but am starting to actually make dinners from scratch, or at least less processed items.  It's difficult, but in the long run it's healthier.

  A good idea

  It would make it easier for the bicyclists when traveling on the roadways with motorists, since the motorists don't always pay attention to them or give them the correct space on the roadways.  They should be treated like a vehicle when traveling, but I can understand why they wouldn't need to come to a complete stop.  And really, how many of you actually come to a complete stop in your vehicle when there is no traffic at the stop sign.  I know that I am guilty of that, and I realize that I should be ticketed for it, but I think that it is a bit much to ticket a bicyclist for trying to make his greener lifestyle easier riding.  As long as they abide by the yield rules, I see nothing wrong with them trying to push this law through.  

  Maybe if it's pushed through all the states, then more people may be inclined to ride their bikes to work, rather then using a gas guzzling, non eco-friendly vehicle.
