Corporations should not be allowed to continue to feed Americans food that result in illness, disease or death. I hope that the new regime will start to influence our food system and really make progress towards change. There is not "one" answer or solution, but rather, many things that need to change. I just saw the movie Food, Inc. over the weekend which describes the situation our food system is in today. My hope is that the people who really need to see this movie do, in fact, get out to see it. And then start asking questions. Of our government, of our farmers, at their grocery store or restaurants. Informed Americans can make the smart decisions. And they will. I believe. Yes, real regulation that protects Americans all along the food chain is needed desperately.

For many people it is not even having access to fresh food. Too many people know the food they eat is not healthy, but have to live with the dissonance because getting the fresh, healthy food creates more of a burden than they can handle.

Of course, this is a complicated issue and advertising, television, both parents working, prepared food on every corner,--all play a role, but each individual can fight back by becoming informed (read Dr. Nestle's books for a start) and by spending even a little time in the kitchen with the children. I don't have a television and that helps a lot I think. You, too, can kill your television--you will NOT be struck by lightening and in a month you will not miss it.

Never mind that years of convenience food have made it so nobody in this country knows how to cook anymore. But it’s your job to know how to cook.
