     Is greatly expanded Amazon deforestation on the horizon?
     Brasil's lower house passed a bill that allows more forest destruction...to provide more food production.
    It goes to President Dilma Rousseff for signing...but she can line veto some items.
    Agriculture interests lobbied for the law for a decade.
    Environmentalists call it 'a big setback.'
