Farm Bill Voted on This Week
(Dec. 2007) The federal government subsidizes
millions of dollars worth of bacon, burgers, fatty meat and dairy
products; and offers them to our schools and food assistance
programs.
The companies making these
unhealthy products give millions of dollars to members of Congress
through political action committees. These unhealthy foods are
contributing to the high rates of many chronic diseases and
especially childhood obesity.
The Physicians Committee for
Responsible Medicine (PCRM) urges everyone supporting healthy,
plant-based products to contact senators to vote YES on the FRESH
Amendment (Lugar-Lautenberg Amendment), a bill that would reduce
federal subsidies that fund foods high in fat, cholesterol, and
sugar and support programs that promote the consumption of fresh
fruits and vegetables.

truth PCRM’s ad please visit
