Taking Action For Our Children

Remember my post on Marketing Schemes?
Read Here

Well, yesterday I took action against it.
Take Action Yourself!

Here's an excerpt from my proposal to the FTC:
* Stop subsidies from hurting our children. Why do foods that are subsidized most of the food pyramid that is suggested? Cow's are filled with so many hormones and antibiotics now, why is milk so healthy? Calcium can be attained many other ways. But to make my point even more, "organic" shouldn't even be a word. Everything should be organic. We shouldn't be eating hormones and antibiotics!

* Clarify that the proposed nutrition principles apply to all foods marketed to children, not just those most heavily marketed to kids. It doesn't make sense to apply the standards to some marketed foods and not others. (I kept this from what was already written. I didn't write this point but agreed fully.)

* Stop the GF marketing scheme that gluten-free means healthier or less sugar, fat, etc.

What additional points will you make to the FTC today?
