Given Michelle Obama's work on childhood obesity and nutrition in general, I wonder what sort of pillow talk there was between the President and the First Lady on THAT little gem of an appointment ...

I feel the same way; this nation is so very broken on the most fundamental level. The surgeon general is screaming out against obesity, but Obama elects Mansanto CEO to the FDA. Do you remember those commercials about high fructose corn syrup a few years back, villifying those who spoke out against it? Well, not villifying, but making them seem unintelligent because when asked why shouldn't I be eating/drinking HFCS, the other person would stone-wall, making it seem like they didn't know what they were talking about, or that there's no proof it's bad for you. So frustrating. I really enjoyed this — the way you set it up (4 quotes…. ) I love your promise as well!

I love that I ask for things and a clerk will direct me to "the health food section" and I think, Well, if that's the health food section, what's the rest of the store for? The un-health food? So glad you found us. I look forward to hearing from you again! I know, Theresa, isn’t the grocery store just this big, colorful farce?

I am really impressed with your site and with this post. I came upon it by accident, but, I guess there are no accidents. Thank you for sharing! It is good to know there are lots of people who are having similar thoughts and actions. I don't like grocery shopping anymore. I creepy and weird knowing the reality behind the pretty packaging.

I hope more people read this. Sounds like this guy could be a modern Aristotle for his great observations about our times: Joel Salatin. About milk, years ago a coworker mentioned that kids don't really need milk as evidenced in nature. Once babies are weaned, animals do not drink it. This influenced the milk my son drinks. After he was weaned at 15 months he rejected the taste of cow's milk. He did eat cheese and considering two or three cubes would meet his daily need of calcium, he ate very little. People have thought I have deprived my child since he has had maybe 2 gallons of milk total (whenever he wanted it) in all of his 3 1/2 years. His new doctor is pretty cool and from another country. When we spoke about it she said she hardly drank milk at all growing up and turned out fine. The milk thing has been pushed way too hard that people are not thinking! What a great post!
