Needless to say the co-sponors for bringing Mark Winne to Oklahoma to provide a FPC workshop on the basics & benefits for having a State Food Policy Council were “not impressed” with your BLOG comments. More so, very much disappointed by your remarks for the rest of your followers to read and form an opinion based on your visit to Oklahoma in November 2011. Although you may have only communicated one side aka… the negative side of this encounter, your BLOG failed to mentioned a positive balance for what some of the Oklahoma FPC attendees communicated as a need and resource for Oklahoma to form a State Food Policy Council.

I live in Arizona where we have similar problems. People worry about household usage of water but it is agriculture that uses 75% of our water. Grazing has taken plants down to the topsoil where it gets washed and blown away. Then the US government planted buffle grass which turned out to be horribly invasive. And on it goes. Everything we buy, eat or do has an environmental consequence but few people want to think that much!

Great story! Being pro-food/local/organic doesn’t mean being con-athletics. However with such a small student population (200) there’s little need for a FB stadium and this is a GREAT idea. I’m a big Will Allen fan, and most people should be! Hope this is one of many stepping stones forward for this university. God bless from a white dude cheering on this traditional AA college! Good luck with reaching your community with healthy foods!

What a triumphant story of turning a situation around. I can picture the football field brimming with produce now!
