A FOOD CHAIN RADIO RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM


There are three frightening ironies within the three simple sentences of
this Chico Enterprise-Record letter to the editor:

"Today when I paid for my child's lunch at school, I asked about the food
that was being served.  The lunch lady explained that all the canned food is
from China because it is really cheap.  She showed me the cans and verified
the truth."

 <http://www.metrofarm.com/index.php> Can you identify three ironies in this
letter to the editor?

This Saturday at 9am Pacific, Michael Olson's Food Chain Radio hosts a
conversation about the real costs of feeding our children cheap food from
China.

Topics include why Chico, California must feed its school children cheap
food from China; the true costs of buying that cheap food; and the
consequences of forcing food production off shore.
