Mark Bittman likes Philly's style
In his latest opinion piece, New York Times food policy columnist Mark Bittman visits Philadelphia, where he tours town with The Food Trust and talks to Mayor Michael Nutter about his work securing whole-food access for Philadelphians on lower economic planes. "Philadelphia," he writes, "is figuring out its residents’ food needs and demonstrating that government and non-profits can lead the fight against diet-related diseases by putting real food into the hands of people — especially children — who have trouble finding and affording it."
Bittman goes on to detail several examples of local programming — the Healthy Corner Store Initiative, Philly Bucks, the state-spearheaded Fresh Food Financing Initiative and the controversial proposed soda tax among them — designed with Philadelphians' long-term health in mind. Read the entire column here.
