Dear Dave:

The great political operative & young lady Miss Amanda Nielsen suggested this topic of kale & wanted to know where she could get quality kale (as I used to work in a produce department) to feed her friend's chinchillas. Amanda ran for the Progressive Conservative nod in Edmonton-McClung provincially & lost, but I feel that she is a lady on the move & will one day serve Albertans well in some political office. As it happens, Governor Peter Shumlin of Vermont is showing that he stands up for farmers, working families & students who want to eat more fruits & vegetables rather than say fried chicken. An independent folk artist named Bo Muller-Moore wanted the right to use the phrase "eat more kale" to be able to suggest to the citizens of Vermont & America that eating kale is great in terms of nutrition & keeping a person(s) healthy. Better nutrition can only lead to better cognitive function in the brains of the students of Vermont. Bo won his court fight & the Governor proudly stood with him.

An Editor's Note: Whomever forms the next Her Majesty's Government will have to have its Minister Of Health promote the Canada Food Guide & healthy living, such as the eating of kale & other vegetables in classrooms & other settings. Thus this becomes an immediate issue in the Federal Election on now here in The Dominion Of Canada.

"It's a victory for grow local. It's a victory for Vermont's small food & farm agricultural renaissance, & it's a victory for Vermont."

Montpelier,

Rory
