RE: Berkeley goes organic - sort of / restaurants with organic foods

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what state produces the highest % of organic produce?

I would just take a wild guess and say CA. I'd think then that CCOF would

really lobby to get more cities/states to do stuff like this. But I guess

the issue is lack of $ to lobby with.

 

What a great tie-in to the new poll question...

 

Which restaurants in the bay area do organic foods?

 

I know the Organic Cafe in Oakland (duhh!)

Herbivore's & Millenium's say they use it when possible

 

Who else?

Berkeley goes organic - sort of

 

 

For those who missed it, according to today's Chron, Food section, the

Berkeley City Council has adopted guidelines encouraging every municipal

food program, from kids camps and senior centers to jails, to use organic,

locally grown food. Irradiated and genetically modified foods are

discouraged. The guidelines are motivated by concerns for health and social

justice. However, the policy does not require organic or locally grown

foods if they cost more than conventional alternatives. The policy could

take as long as ten years to fully implement.
