Legislators and local food activists are fighting to get healthy, organic food into the nation's poorest neighborhoods.
  • Title of the article

    Perhaps I am too literal of a reader, but I was definitely expecting to see jicama mentioned in the article itself. (I just tasted it for the first time recently and it reminded me of a cross between a potato and an apple).But anyway, it would have been interesting to see if any of these food justice groups were looking at integrating "ethnic" organic, locally grown produce in low income neighborhoods.

    I think organic, locally grown jicama would be a hit in the Latin American community, and (hopefully) others would be tempted to try it as well.
