Within the past few days I've noticed an uptick in the number of articles about local foods. Yesterday it was how a local hospital was sponsoring a community-wide farmers market every week right at the hospital. Their focus on good nutrition is spreading out to include providing healthy foods along with instrutions on how to prepare tasty dishes. Then today the newspapers main editorial was on the importance of local foods. What with record gardening this year, even a garden at the White House, there is a sudden resurgence of interest in food quality over cheapness.
