Hi, everyone.  I'm posting the following message here in the 
hope that Michele can get some useful info for an article that 
has the potential to be very influential.

If you have something to contribute, please send it 
directly to her, not to me. Thanks.

The magazine USA Weekend has asked me to write an 
article on the grass-roots campaign for better, more 
detailed product/food-labeling, to help consumers (particularly 
allergy sufferers and those with intolerances) choose the products 
that best work for them. 

If you have a real-life anecdote or thought on the need for 
better labeling (for example, a severe allergic reaction due to the 
fact that you weren't aware of how much lactose or allergen 
was in a certain food), please pass it along, with your name, age, 
where you live, etc.

Any other information on this campaign (organizations, names of 
physicians/nutritionists or individuals), would be most appreciated.
