Topic: This week on Food Nation Radio Network. Did you know that the Congress of the United States of America has nothing better to do than to declare “Food Holidays”? That’s right… the budget, finding solutions to putting people to work, settling the debt mess all come in second place to making sure that America celebrates a different “Food Holiday” every day. In January alone, there are holidays for National Pastrami Day, National Fig Newton Day, National Cheese Lovers Day, National Strawberry Ice Cream Day and our favorite, National Pizza Week. On this weeks show, we celebrate the holidays. You’ll meet John Neal Robinson from Blue Bell Ice Cream and we’ll get an update from the Florida Strawberry Festival March 1-11 in Plant City. Plus… everything you wanted to know about making the BEST pizza ever and an expanded segment all about cheese. (Behold, the power of cheese) Enjoy!

Topic: This week on Food Nation Radio Network. Agent Orange. If you’re over the age of 50, you probably remember that chemical… it was used for a decade to deforest the jungles in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Now, researchers here at home are genetically modifying corn seeds to be resistant to Agent Orange. Why? Because there is a movement to make the corn crop resistant to Agent Orange, then that nasty chemical can be sprayed in the fields to kill all other weeds and vegetation. What could go wrong with this plan? This stuff can’t possible be harmful for humans…right? A chilling story and show.

Topic: This week on Food Nation Radio Network… have you ever wondered about all the stuff that’s in milk? So did we. So we started asking questions. You’ll hear from Liz Reitzig from National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association… she’ll share the story of an Amish farmer whose farm was raided by the FDA. His crime: providing raw milk that was transported across state lines. You’ll also meet Jeff Kleinpeter from Kleinpeter Farms in Bator Rouge, Louisiana. All he wanted to do was advertise that his cows (and thus the milk) was free of rBGH. Monsanto complained and the FDA stepped in.
