'Pink Slime' Controversy: Schools Will Be Able To Opt Out Of Ammonia-Treated Ground Beef Filler

Wow! This is frightening. Mind if I post to my blog?*

My idea is to use Congressional cafeterias as the test kitchens for all the genetically modified, highly processed, hormone/antibiotic fed, fake food in America's food supply that has been "scientifically" proven to be nutritionally void AND "healthy."

Come to think of it - the USDA's commissaries should be included too! So, just like a church potluck - if the food is still in the dish - uneaten two hours latter - the USDA can't "sell it" to orphans, widows, school children...or feed it to the dog.

My question to NIFA: since when do I need a PhD in chemistry, a white lab coat and a scientific study to make my children a "healthy and nutritious" lunch?

Best health always!

*USDA------ Roger Beachy, (long-time president of the Danforth Plant Science Center Monsanto'ss nonprofit arm) was appointed by Pres. Obama as chief of the USDA's newly created National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). As the director of NIFA (a nomination that doesn't require congressional approval), Beachy will oversee the distribution of nearly $500 million in grants and other research funding. Sustainable agriculture initiatives are likely to suffer, as research dollars are awarded to projects that promote Beachy's vested interests in biotechnology.
