The problem also exists that poor families cannot get to healthy foods like vegetables and fruits. Grocery stores are rare in poor neighborhoods, so people have to go to convenient stores like 7-11 and CVS and fast food places for food. If we made...
I'm afraid that I don't agreed that poor food is better than no food. Too often this an excuse for buying and consuming convenient food. Good food is not out of range for the poor, or the frugal. There are social groups growing up all over the Uni...
Because money is not distributed evenly, and so be that. I certainly do not want to subsidize someone elses diet with my food budget. The other part of this is that so called crap food is what a lot of folks want to eat. Its chep and it tastes goo...

The organic industry definitel...

H.R. 814: Trace Act of 2009

The believe is these bills will add such a cost to growing local organic food, that only the big industrializ...
Why do you have so much trust for your neighborhood food producers and providers? If you have a reasonable basis, can that be a workable basis for the rest of us? There has to be a better way than choosing between the poisons of an unregulated mar...
Welcome to The Conversation Elizabeth
Oh, I like you! Gee whiz, don't let anyone make you throw away good cheese!
I suppose that I do sound dualistic, but truth is, I do not trust that the regulations currently being put forth are working in the right direction. Our problems with the food supply appear to be an excuse to centralize and stomp out the little an...
Hewit Rose, we need to get back to the central issue. Can you eat food with mold on it?
