No Roquefort for you!

I have recently discovered Civil Eats and, oh boy, am I glad I did!

Check out this post.  Apparently the Bush administration gave one last middle finger to France by imposing a tariff on Roquefort, of all things, making it nearly impossible to import it into the U.S.

Which, of course, just proves the argument that the president we vote into office does indeed have an influence over the food we eat and the health of the entire nation.
