.....on the news. I think it's a bold step - but a GREAT one....it makes restarauntuers to "THINK" about what they are using to cook with...and what they are feeding people.

I hope it goes well...and doesn't cause such a ruckus that people quit fighting for a healthier nation!!

Okay so I am all for making people have the resources to find out what they are eating available, but have to admit that I am leary about legislation that restricts peoples ability to choose. It is kinda a slippery slope.
