Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Representative Rosa DeLauro
(D-CT) are the Honorary Co-Chairs for Food Day 2011, and the day is sponsored
by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the nonprofit watchdog group
that has led successful fights for food labeling, better nutrition, and safer
food since 1971. Like CSPI, Food Day will be people-powered and does not accept
funding from government or corporations—though restaurants, supermarkets, and
others are certainly encouraged to observe Food Day in their own ways.
