text: My mother once said, "It's dangerous to get between your father and his food." A couple minutes later, my father instructed me never to criticize my mother's religion. Since then I have noticed how food can inflame the same irrational 
  passions as religion.
  
  Today, I would add, "Never underestimate the power of the conglomerate food business with their deep pocket lobbyists, public relations, PHD's on salary, and passionate legions of fast convenience food converts and no weeding farmers."
  
  As Americans we all can agree it's a freedom of choice of what we choose to eat. Unfortunately, that's not possible anymore since lawyers and politicians have tweaked labeling laws.
  
  Climate change effects on crops, depleting water aquifers, long lines at soup kitchens, in the future, may outweigh any food concerns we have presently.
