NEWS: Urban Farming Bringing Factual Food to Detroit

 Here is a great commentary in The New York Times about growing 'factual food' in Detroit, Michigan. Many of the article commenters bemoan the focus on urban farming, rather than bringing jobs to the city. And, while that is point well-taken, bringing local produce--whether in season or canned--to people who need affordable access to real food is a start toward a better future, and better health. And, 'people' includes school-children, who, having breakfasted on refined carbs, often do not eat their first bit of protein until noon.
