Such an important issue- people need to be educated about their food! "Concerned shoppers say the FDA should ban the word." #foodnews

munchiemummy I hope it does get banned. It's such a marketing scam and so upsetting to think how people who *want* to make better choices about their food, are being misled.

annefood The King of empty phrases!

etsummer I think we need a whole labeling overhaul! So many buzz words and even images/seemingly official badges and 'certifications' that don't really mean anything.

JamieOliversFoodRevolution @Brianne agree! Some studies have shown that children who grow their own vegetables are five times more likely to eat them.

FarmerDave i second more growing! I've seen it in my own community. Kids and even adults who are part of the growing process have a different appreciation for the food they consume. It's like they treasure...

This breakfast is known as the banh mi op la. I could eat this everyday. If you ever find yourself in Saigon go to Hoa Ma to get this.
