For anyone who's seen Food, Inc, the companies exposed there are making a bid for absolute power over food.  If you want to learn more, go here and send a message but even better would be to get involved.  Call, let your friends know, find out if you can help the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund which is fighting as hard it it can to save our farmers.

The bills contain Codex.  http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/Events/codex-whatisit.html

Here where it comes from.  http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/PHARMACEUTICAL_BUSINESS/history_of_the_pharmaceutical_industry.htm

If the bills pass, organic is dead, integrative, natural health is gone, and pesticides and irradiation and drugs and the industries behind them are in.

School food is absolutely horrible. Tom, when will you consider using school vouchers as a way for sophisticated parents to obtain control over their schools, rather than relying on a few guys on top of an enromous, billion-dollar, national pyramid to make the choices that a few of us want? Imagine how much power parents would have if they controled where their $12k annual per student check went?

Not that I can report here in the Detrot area that we private school parents have any better choices: even at the private schools, not enough parents here care or know about food for the private schools to serve anything that a food savy person would eat, or permit his kids to eat. But I have an easier task convincing a tipping point's worth of fellow students to request real food, than I would convincing a federal beuracracy!
