Is something seriously wrong with our food system?

Dear SuperMom101,

"We apologize to everyone who may have been sickened by eating our eggs" - Jack DeCoster, founder of Wright County egg empire, testifying yesterday to Congress. This time, we need more than an apology.

Kids served Cheetos with cheese for lunch, half a billion dangerous eggs recalled, obesity and diabetes at record levels - there is something seriously wrong with our food system.

But whenever factory farms ignore food safety, McDonalds crafts their next campaign to lure kids inside, or politicians write laws to keep school lunches frozen, they don't take into account one thing - a massive grassroots movement mobilized for the fight to make food good, clean and fair.

We're building a food revolution in this country, from the grassroots up - and want you to be a part of it. And the good news is, this month only, membership of Slow Food USA is cheaper than ever. Click here to join the food fight:

Each year 76 million Americans are sickened, 325,000 are hospitalized and 5,000 die from foodborne illnesses. We need something special if we are to turn this ship around - and that something special is you, your friends, your local community, all pitching in to make food good.

Slow Food members get together at farmers' markets, create gardens in their local school, take action to hold our politicians to account, support local farmers - and have a great time doing it! It's through powerful local communities that we can build the change needed nationally.

You can be a part of the solution today by becoming a Slow Food USA member - but you'd better hurry, our discounted offer expires soon:
