Anyone who has traveled out of the country is very aware of how processed our food is in comparison to other countries. As an example, in France they have a whole aisle of yougurt v. here where we have a whole aisle of sugary breakfast cereals. Your suggestion about the corn subsidy is spot on - let's instead support healthy, locally grown food. Let's have school gardens and community gardens so that children are exposed to foods that are actually grown rather than out of a box or a fast-food wrapper. And, while I am on a rant - we need to change the factory farms that are raising most of the beef, chicken and pork in our country. I only want to eat grass-fed beef and free-range chickens that are actually allowed to move around. Anyway, thanks Michelle - you go girl!!
