For those of you who have been reading my posts for awhile, you know how passionate I am about making healthy, locally grown food available to everyone, regardless of income level. So many of us have less than healthy lifestyles that rely on too much processed food and not enough fresh produce that can fuel our bodies and support great health.  And with innvoative ways to increase availability of fresh food for people on low-incomes, we’re making some slow but optimistic progress.

I love this article I came across in the New York Times about noted food expert Alice Waters. Ms. Waters is all about introducing more sustainable food in our diets, especially organic. In fact, she’s written a letter to President-elect Obama, urging him to set an example in everything from the pick for Secretary of Agriculture to choosing a chef for the White House kitchen who values fresh, whole foods.

Check out the article and share your thoughts. How imporant is it to you that our new president set an example?
