U.S. National Mango Board Runs on $6.7 Million a Year

(CNSNews.com) -- The government watchdog group Judicial Watch reported this week that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) maintains a National Mango Board, which operates on a $6.7 million budget, solely to "increase the consumption of fresh mangos in the United States," according to its USDA website [1].  "this is a serious matter that is handled at the presidential cabinet level," reported Judicial Watch.

They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
