Democratizing Good Food

This week's NY Times Magazine is devoted to food. Yummy!

In it, Michael Pollan asks, "Is this the year that the food movement finally enters politics?" He notes the tremendous recent successes of Community Supported Agriculture, Farmers Markets, and sustainable farming. But then he adds:

Not everyone can afford to participate in the new food economy. If the food movement doesn’t move to democratize the benefits of good food, it will be — and will deserve to be — branded as elitist.
It got me thinking: fundamentally, Farm to School is democratizing good food.
