New Day, New Food Policy?

This article raises a lot of issues I've been thinking about lately with regard to local food.  Will President Obama bring a new emphasis to food policy issues?  I'm not too impressed with his appointment of Tom Wilsack as Secretary of Agriculture, but will he take the advice of Michael Pollan and others and advocate moving nutritional programs out of the Agriculture Department? It's not too early to start thinking about the next Farm Bill!   As the economy declines, food sovereignty becomes an even more crucial need.
