on the sunny side - a followup to the article on food deserts, which was the second in a few weeks in our paper, Good Morning Alabama just did a long piece with the writer of the article and a guy from the Main Street Birmingham group. perhaps this is all happening independantly, and it is something some folks have been working on and trying to bring attention to, but that Michelle Obama has made this a part of her focus on food can't but help. I really like what she is doing with it.

And on a practical level, since many health issues are a result of not eating well, and often not having many options to actually eat well... it's good for everyone if we work on it in terms of national healthcare costs, and worker productivity costs.
