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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
