I can't tell you how much I admire Tom Colicchio.

His work on poverty and hunger is so needed. His mother ran a public school cafeteria when he was a child and he's never forgotten her work and dedication to making certain that children did not go hungry in that school.

How does your congressman score on the food policy score card Tom's group has developed?

1. Except for Sen. Tom Udall, they all scored in the mid 80s, room for improvement.

Well, except for Steve Pearce (R-too dumb to live) who scored 15, lower even than Rand Paul.

ETA: Udall scored 100. He's great.

2. In California? The Ds are high, several 100 scores. The Rs are low, one scores 0.

5. His book is great too -- "Think Like A Chef"

It's not a recipe book. It is concept. Really improved my approach to cooking and broadened my skills and thinking.

6. My so-called "Rep", Justin Amash, is at a whopping 31, tied with bagger nut Bentivolio

I'm so depressed...

7. Kicking for exposure and for action.

We need to get behind this effort and push for change. Visit the Food Policy project's website and let's push this.
