"Can Biotech Food Cure World Hunger?" - Room for Debate Blog - NYTimes.com
We ought to be able to relate much better to this than we do in NC. Note the NC State professor on the link; he writes frequently; perhaps he can help.
Here in France where I am now, the agriculture sector says that it is facing its worst crisis in 30 years. Farmers are clamoring for government help and food prices continue to fall.
How do we relate that situation (in France) to the agriculture situation in NC....and, in turn, with agriculture in all other countries.
What can we learn from them? What they can learn from us?

"‘Smart Choices’ Food Labeling Loses Support" - NYTimes.com
This is a great testament to the power of the overall marketplace and good government actions, as in Connecticut. Good ideas, badly executed, like this program and its ludicrous seals of approval on Fruit Loops et al, can be confronted and changed. Bravo to those who fought this fight and continue to pursue the matter.

"From Altar Wine to Beer Pong, Flu Fears Curb Life’s Rituals" - NYTimes.com
How are people in various parts of NC coping with this? Are they changing their habits, too? It is true here in France where I am now -- the traditional exchange of kisses on meeting a friend is happening less often or with some reserve. In NC?
