Toronto Food Policy Council
"Over the years, we have moved away from eating locally grown or produced foods and towards a food system that focuses on the mass production, distribution and marketing of processed "convenience" foods. This has contributed to the food-related problems facing Toronto and other big cities - hunger, obesity, chronic diseases, disappearing farmland and environmental pollution." (info from: http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=75ab044e17e32410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD and http://www.sustainablecitiesnet.com/models/toronto-food-policy-council-an-example-for-the-world/) My thought to this is that they set an example for the world with this remarkable organization, in my oppinion I think that this can really help our environmental problems and lots of other food situations. This helps create a healthy community, helps get rid of pollution and assists people to eat healthier.
