This survey clearly shows that most Americans are educated enough to eat healthier.  However, even though the knowledge is there, they just don't follow up on it.  Half of the battle is already won.  Now all you have to do is finish the fight by following what you already know and making healthier choices.

Recent Salmonella Outbreak in Turkey Shows Issues with Food Growing Practices

Here it is again.  We are really be exposed to all the issues involved with the standard practice of growing conventional foods.  The use of pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics is really destroying our worlds health.  There are many people in this country alone that just cannot afford to buy anything of better quality and in turn we are making everyone sick and increasing the strain on our medical system.  Maybe this is partaking in the increase in medical cost and lack of resources.  Another case of trying to mend an issue instead of preventing it in the first place.
