		<title>Did you know?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that you don&#8217;t have the right to consume any food you want simply because you are an American citizen. Apparently the Constitution offers no such protection and the FDA wants you to know.
This revelation has been out there for a few months and there are already several articles covering this topic. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

On a practical level, the USDA&#8217;s policies and regulations are skewed towards the industrial producers. It is [...]]]></description>
