Happy Food Day!


Today marks the first (annual?) Food Day!

I realize that I am getting this up a bit late, but there is still time to get involved either today or in the coming ones.  The overall goal is to raise awareness for healthy and affordable food which is produced in a sustainable and humane way.  CSPI has been working to create awareness, both in homes and in the state/federal government, not only about the importance of a healthy diet, but the impact that food policy has on people's eating decisions. 

You can click here to learn a bit more about the 6 Major Food Principles.  But for those of you who want the quick and dirty they are listed below.

While all six are great, I of course am partial to number 5 (hello undergrad thesis, we meet again)!

Anyway give their website a perusal (yes in fact a real world) and consider asking your members of congress to support the Eat Real agenda.
