Jasedit's Downhill Jaunt

spitintheocean:

More than 10 years ago, Brazil’s fourth-largest city, Belo Horizonte, declared that food was a right of citizenship and started working to make good food available to all. One of its programs puts local farm produce into school meals. This and other projects cost the city less than 2 percent of its budget.

An excellent read. This is the sort of thing that makes sense for government to do, and as it says in the article, this sort of thing is easy to do, with huge results.
