As a Cold War kid in elementary school, I learned to dive under my desk at my teacher's command. I was taught to "duck and cover" (hide under my desk and cover my head with my hands) so I would survive a nuclear attack. In those years, I was told the Russians and Chinese were our enemies, capable of attacking the U.S. with nuclear weapons and that the citizens of the U.S. enjoyed many more freedoms than people in the Soviet Union and Communist China. Today, 60 years later, I find myself working for the same freedoms the Chinese and Russian people presently enjoy but are denied to U.S. residents. The freedom of making informed choices about the food we eat and the food we feed our families. To make informed choices consumers must know what's in the food they purchase and eat. To know what's in our food, the food must be labeled.
