MLK and the state of the union

As per usual, tonight the President will address Congress and declare "The State of the Union is Strong", to polite applause.  At least he won't have to hear some redneck yell "You lie", I hope.  For many members of congress and their constituents, the celebration of MLK day and the specter of a black president addressing the nation in primetime is enough to bring on another attack of ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome).  It's a shame we will only have one more opportunity before Hilary Clinton induces another malady among the same crowd!  I hope the President will talk about food and the nation's agricultural policy.   With over 45 million people on food stamps and many more probably eligible for them but kept away by pride, hunger in America is a huge issue which must be faced.  Also, the ramifications of ag policy extend far beyond profits on American farms.  Methane emissions from livestock, overuse of antibiotics, accurate labeling on processed foods, and calorie disclosures on restaurant menus are just a few of the subjects that could be addressed but probably won't.  Farm policy touches on many other issues which could be coordinated by the president's advisor on this area.   I know the recent triumphs in foreign policy, immigration and climate change will be front and center, but making sure the population has adequate nutrition is perhaps the greatest challenge the country faces in the short term.
