					<description><![CDATA[This might  be one of those rare cases where a loosely organized group could actually bring off a successful lobbying result.

Find a few hundred or so cheese afficianados from all over the country. Find about ten or so who can make a one day trip to Washington, DC to do face to face lobbying (with senators and reps, or with their office staff).

Coordinate the few hundred irate constituent letters to both precede and follow up the lobbying.

The lobbyists go to senate and congress offices armed with platters of cheese and crackers to share with staff and reps. Lobbyists eat some of the cheese and crackers while leaving a platter full for the staff and senators or reps. Rave about how good the cheese is, and how it is now banned by the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011.

Tell the office staff or the reps themselves that this is their last chance to ever taste this wonderful cheese. Because it&#039;s been banned.

Ask them to amend the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 which banned it. Tell them emphatically that they&#039;ll never be able to taste it again if they don&#039;t.

Some congress critters might notice and take action.]]></description>
