Did you ever think that this week's U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to overturn campaign finance restrictions on corporate and union election spending would open the door for further abuses to our health, food and agriculture by corporate interests?  Well it did.

President Obama made a somewhat forceful statement when he said "With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics....It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies, and other powerful interests that marshal their interests every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans."

This decision will do a lot to increase corporate health.  What about the public's health?  We're on our own and it's called preventive health--lots of fruit and vegetables (organic when you can), shopping on the perimeter of the market (thank you Michael Pollan) and very, very limited sugar.  Did you know that regular table sugar is refined by using sulphur dioxide?  Yuck!
