NuVal Nutritional Scoring, Tom Vilsack and Monsanto
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is promoting NuVal, a new nutritional scoring system designed to steer consumers toward "better" food choices. Critics link the system to the promotion of genetically modified foods and the interests of large corporations like Monsanto. Missouri school districts are reportedly beginning to implement the scoring system in their cafeterias.
