There were lots of good smoking guns and food-marketing shenanigans this week, but our friend Jill Richardson posted one of the best today on La Vida Locavore, citing a Congressman and his lobbyist wife’s Big Ag double-team.
Hmm...you remind me of someone...a president from the '80s who loved big food too?
My favorite comment reads: “It’s stuff like this that (rightly) feeds our cynicism. How do you really fix the system when corporate money and our “public servants” (quite literally) sleep together?”
The only fix, in my view, is to make a big noise. By speaking out against NAIS at the USDA listening sessions (Austin’s is May 20th) and staying as far outside the industrial food system as possible with our eating choices each day, these seemingly individual actions WILL add up. Join me?
