		<description><![CDATA[Do you support the first amendment and the right of people to gather in the streets to protest without physical harm?

		<title>Dean Foods Sucks: Kiss your Organics Goodbye.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dean Foods, the agribusiness giant is creating a new product category, &#8220;natural dairy,&#8221; targeting organic customers.
