Clean Your Plate: Around the Web This Week

Wishing everyone good luck out there this weekend as snowpocalypse 2.0 heads our way. Be safe, stay warm and break out the snowshoes.

Some things we liked this week:

• Michael Pollan on Oprah (with video!).  Something to note: the less we spend on food, the more we spend on healthcare.  Who would you rather pay? 
  
  
• Bye-bye NAIS: USDA drops plan to trace livestock.  Small farms rejoice... then ask "What will replace it?"

• Just say no...to school lunch milk with the same amount of sugar as a soda.

• WaPo's Jane Black talks with Sen. Tom Harkin (D – Iowa), a long-time proponent of healthful eating, about Michelle Obama's new childhood obesity initiative. 
  
  
• Urban farmers fight for their right...to grow veggies.
  
  
• Two different takes on school lunches -- basically the same result.  Fed Up with School Lunch and School Lunch Found Guilty.
  
  
• What happens when a three-year-old starts looking at the beautiful food pics in Cooking Light?
