It's Food Day! But wait, we eat every day so why an actual "Food" day? According to the non-profit that is sponsoring this day as dialogue they have some fairly straightforward (okay, awesome) goals:
Do all the above and Michael Pollan will shut up... or not. The Advisory Board of Food Day consists of rowdy heroes like Will Allen, Alice Waters, Jim Hightower and Michel Nischan of the Wholesome Wave Foundation. Not included are the South Central Farmers who are rumored to be at City Hall this afternoon.
Locally, Paula Daniels and the LA Food Policy Council have put up this link of local to-dos, as does the KCRW Good Food blog.
