Local Carrots With a Side of Red Tape

Much as I'd like to rant on about the totally inefficient food bureaucracy, the underlying problem here is simple (and obvious, if you think about it).

There's just too damn many people to feed'em all right. And worse, they've all been trained to expect fresh apricots in Minnesota in February, and limitless supplies of everything, all the time.

It's a recipe for disaster.

Getting good, healthy, local food into school cafeterias is harder than it may seem.
