"Despite evidence to the contrary, fast-food franchisees say wage hikes will affect their bottom line." These are small privately run businesses we are talking about. #policynews

Such an important issue- people need to be educated about their food! "Concerned shoppers say the FDA should ban the word." #foodnews

JamieOliversFoodRevolution @Brianne agree! Some studies have shown that children who grow their own vegetables are five times more likely to eat them.

FarmerDave i second more growing! I've seen it in my own community. Kids and even adults who are part of the growing process have a different appreciation for the food they consume. It's like they treasure...

"Corn, watermelon, and peaches were unrecognizable 8,000 years ago."
