(No, I don't have any answers of how to make them remember just sugar and still Hospital keep them healthy. All I can do is hook it to this criticism thing.) We are all sensitive to the criticism ratio. Boy! it isn't easy to get it right!

The vote, which was held during a public meeting via conference call, supports a report that offers 23 public policy recommendations. "A tremendous amount of time and effort has been put into this report by members of the Dairy Industry Advisory Committee and I'm appreciative of their efforts and their willingness to dedicate time in support of the dairy industry," said GARAGE DOORS Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The Dairy Industry Advisory Committee was chartered to review farm milk price volatility and dairy farmer profitability. The committee was asked to make recommendations to the Secretary on how USDA can best address these issues to meet the dairy industry's needs, both short and long-term. The committee also was asked to provide feedback on how actions taken by USDA in 2009 have affected the dairy industry. For a written copy of the report — which will be available in approximately 10 days — contact Solomon Whitfield at Solomon. Whitfield@wdc.usda.gov.
