Issue Position: Healthy Foods

Issue Position

Increasing access to locally-grown, healthy foods is essential to our physical, environmental and economic health.

My Plan:

* I will support efforts to provide our community with better access to local and organic farmers, dairies and other food suppliers.

* I will work to create urban farming and agriculture pilot projects to improve access to locally-grown food, and provide community farming opportunities.

* Healthier school meals: We teach our children to eat right and eat healthy when they are at home, so we must work to ensure they are receiving and practicing that same message when they are at school. I will work to ensure school districts have healthy and balanced food requirements in their contracts with food vendors.
