Great idea, ! Thinking food and health issues would be good together for

original list. Your suggestion covers the environmental quality control that

make food and health. Heidi has the politics list nt_politics. Still will be

crossovers, better for definition and easier on those overwhelmed with mail.

Can do more moderator help too if needed to ease up member's and your load.
