Those are excellent news articles. Thank you very much. While the environmental movement in is decline and the food movement is growing, it won't be long before the food movement becomes a major target of the right-wing and of major food corporations who profit from selling unhealthy food. It won't be long before healthy eaters become demonized. We need to be careful about that and learn from the mistakes of the environmental movement. Just my opinion. Thanks.
