Could food actually be interfering with children’s learning? Could it be contributing to behavior problems and delinquency?

We hear it every time a child uses an asthma inhaler. Solutions are here, also. But meaningful changes are being stubbornly ignored by government, big business and big enviro:

Press conference with father of first Missouri woman to die in Iraq
Did the Army Cover Up Murder of a Black Private?
June 3, 2008 – St. Louis, Missouri.
LaVena Johnson, of Florissant, may be only 1 of over a dozen women to die under extremely suspicious circumstances while in Iraq and Afghanistan. The increase in violence against women in the military is so sharp that Dr. John Johnson, father of LaVena Johnson, is working with US Representatives Ike Skelton and Lacy Clay to have a Congressional hearing to request a reopening of the Army’s investigation of the death of LaVena Johnson.
Dr. Johnson recently went to Washington DC as a part of effort to get the case reopened. He will report on that trip at a press conference at
11:00 am, Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Legacy Books and Café, 5249 Delmar (near Union)
LaVena Johnson reportedly died in Iraq on July 19, 2005, days shy of her 20th birthday. The Army called it suicide. From the very beginning her family did not buy that story and new evidence suggests their suspicions could be well-founded.

Solutions are here, also. But meaningful changes are being stubbornly ignored by government, big business and big enviro:
-
A genuine effort at reducing greenhouse gases would require food to be grown within 100 miles of where it is eaten.
-
A serious climate change program would stop funding the 800 military bases which ensure a continuous flow of oil to the US.
-
The most energy efficient homes are homes that have no heating system at all.
-
The most energy efficient cars are those that are replaced by trains, buses, bicycles or feet.

Tired of long waits in the cold and rain, many St. Louisans are demanding an
affordable mass transit system. Could we link that with redesigning
neighborhoods so people could ride bicycles or walk for most trips? Is it feasible to
reduce the number of cars on the road by 80%?
