“Please note: Do not ask SNP [the USDA’s Special Nutrition Program] to eliminate milk... as much as we would like to make that happen, we’ll be shooting ourselves in the foot if we ask for this at this point.” — From a 2003 FARM e-mail to supporters, urging them to lobby the USDA for the approval of soy milk and rice milk as substitutes for the real thing
“The letters are submitted to the newspapers in the U.S. through a computerized faxing program. We send a letter to each local paper on behalf of the individual farm rep who resides in that area. The FARM rep gives us advanced permission to use his/her name and address, and sign the letter on his/her behalf. Each time we fax letters to the editors, we simultaneously email a copy to you, so you can anticipate receiving a call from your editor confirming that your [sic] wrote/sent the letter. Please watch for the letter in the paper and notify us if you hear from an editor.” — FARM communications director Laurelee Blanchard, in an e-mail to a new “Letters From FARM” enrollee
