So it figures that I stumble on an interesting locally-written blog by reading about it in a Chicago-based magazine that FoodNerd gets delivered to the house. One of the more recent issues of Time Out Chicago makes mention of a blog on U.S. Food Policy (aptly named, U.S. Food Policy) written by a Tufts University professor.
FoodNerd is concerned that reading it is just going to make her depressed about how bad the policy in the U. S. currently is, but it seems like there's also a lot of good stuff in the form of local info, resources, and news of good things that can be done and/or are being done.
Hopefully there's enough balance so she won't be upset that I posted it. I've found it a good read so far, but I've haven't had the chance to dig through the archive yet and I've got to get back to work.
