As for substance, it sounds to me as if Portland is well ahead of most metropolitan areas in its efforts to expose low-income people to the benefits of the slow/natural/local food movement. For example, both in Los Angeles and in our relatively rural area [Central California Coast], campaigns for contributions to local food banks always emphasize giving non-perishables. I didn't know food banks were set up to accept contributions of fresh fruits and vegetables. I also don't understand why fresh food at farmer's market is considered elitist because more expensive; in my experience, most of the food sold at farmer's markets in our county are less costly than at the supermarkets. A final thought: Fresh food can make its way into the school system easier if combined with campaigns to control contents of on-campus vending machines.Uncle Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694648216849750621.post-54191232072811591502009-06-16T14:07:30.657-07:002009-06-16T14:07:30.657-07:00Thanks.
