It's been an astounding week for food! Seattle hosted the illustrious Eric Holt Gimenez from Food First. Eric was on KUOW's Weekday program before heading off to speak about food sovereignty at the UW. We had trainings on healthy retail conversions and public workshops on rule changes at WIC. We had the USDA launch of listening sessions to end childhood hunger and the "Feed a Neighbor" program. All this just on the heels of Obama declaring the week of Thanksgiving the new "National Farm-City Week." President Obama recognized the “vital ties between our urban and suburban communities and their local farmers through regional food systems, farmers markets, and community gardens.”
I think it may be fair to say that the Good Food Movement has arrived!
