As debate and wrangling over the 2007 Farm Bill intensifies, Food Fight offers a highly...	$16.95 Add:

Do we clear-cut forests, process pulp, and bleach it with chlorine to make paper bags? Or do we make a pact with demon hydrocarbon, refining ancient sunlight into handy plastics? About half the total volume of America's municipal solid waste is packaged - at least 800 pounds per person each year - and the "upstream" costs in...	$16.95 Add:
