GM Foods

[Tom Lehman]

For the last few years I have been trying to grow a giant pumpkin.  I've
tried various types of giant pumpkin seeds from different seed
companies.  I've prepared the soil, using rich topsoils and various
friendly fertlizers like miracle grow and vegtable nitrogen.  I've mixed
sand in with the topsoil in various amounts.  Watered regularly etc.
Still no giant pumpkins have appeared in my garden.  So maybe the seed
companies are lying---maybe I'm going to have to get the seeds directly
from a giant pumpkin!

Meanwhile the real threat to the nation and the world's food supply is
sprawl.  Sprawl is tearing up and black-topping over the best
agricultural land in the USA.  All in the name of p-stop convenience
stores, Wal-Marts, Super K-Marts, and seedy motels.

Locally, as I have mentioned before, the Ohio turnpike wants to build
another interchange here at state route 58 that will destroy wetlands,
farmlands and orchards.  The local central Lorain Co. watershed will be
destroyed and the water quality of Lake Erie will suffer.

If you would like to make a comment to the Ohio EPA about why the State
Route 58 interchange should not be built---you can---by sending your
comment to patrick.gallaway at epa.state.oh.us or
tom.harcarik at epa.state.oh.us

A couple of lines of email expressing concern about the water quality of
Lake Erie and the wetlands would be a big help.
