From Center f/ Science i/t/ Public Interest

This is an email I got from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, one of the PIRG-type special interest Scientific-sounding named groups. As you can see, they are happy about several PROGRAMS, I mean tiny porky items amounting to only 1.25 BILLION job-creating dollars, that were included within the Stimulus package that Congress passed last week without reading. Here is the truth about this group.

Thank you to all who helped urge their Members of Congress to support the economic stimulus package – it paid off! The House and Senate have finished their work on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Thanks to your letters to Congress, the bill includes several important investments in nutrition and obesity prevention. The final bill includes funding for 3 programs that support healthy eating and wellness:

1) $650 million for clinical and community-based prevention and wellness programs
2) $100 million for much-needed equipment for the National School Lunch Program to help schools prepare healthier meals.
3) $500 million for WIC to help low-income moms and babies in these tough economic times

Up until the last minute, all of these programs were in jeopardy of being cut. Thank you for helping to secure these important nutrition and health provisions. We couldn’t have done it without such great grassroots support.

All the best,
Margo Wootan
Director of Nutrition Policy

Hey, well, wouldn't it be great if MARGO WOOTAN was flooded with emails & faxes and wouldn't it be fun if their server went down!? ha ha ha well here is an email: actionalert@cspinet.org

Folks, watch out for these groups. They are into desensitizing Americans on normal issues and turning us into politically correct zombis.
