Top 10 Lawyers Working to Improve the Food System
Posted on July 5, 2012 by Michele

I admit this post is somewhat self-serving. But I am getting weary of so many lists (like this one) celebrating heroes of the food movement that leave out an entire category of professionals that deserve a little respect. They may not be as famous as Alice Waters but they are working just as hard, maybe even harder. So here, in no particular order, are ten lawyers doing critical work to improve how we eat.

1) Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety and veteran warrior fighting Monsanto and GMOs.

2) Steve Gardner, director of litigation for Center for Science in the Public Interest, one of the few lawyers willing to sue the likes of McDonald’s over marketing to children.

Who cares what a bunch of LAWYERS think about food? Because they're LAWYERS and not nutritionists or doctors, my guess is they're planning something other than our diets.

No thank you. This type of "help" is not necessary. We prefer to be a free people instead.

They are going to “improve” the food-system so much, it will turn the food-industry into the present state of US Health Care

Expensive, rationed, waiting times, heavy Gov’t intervention.

That’s only because Michelle can not lay claim to ‘lawyer’.

But if your article is about the top 10 foodnazis, then she’s definitely on the list.

They need to mind their own damn business. I don’t want any help to decide what my family eats!

In fact, these people are stupid.

Claim:   List details food companies owned by Monsanto

Origins:   The list reproduced above purportedly details a wealth of food-related companies or brands supposedly owned by Monsanto, the multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. In fact, Monsanto doesn’t own the listed companies; this item appears to be an attempt to compile a list of companies selling food items that make use of products developed by Monsanto (such as artificial sweeteners or agricultural products derived from genetically engineered seed).
