Food is fundamental to life.
It nourishes us in body and soul, and the sharing of food immeasurably enriches our sense of community. Good, safe, wholesome food is a basic human right. Society has the obligation to make good, pure food affordable and accessible to all. Good food begins with unpolluted air, land and water, environmentally sustainable farming and fishing, and humane animal husbandry. Sound food choices emphasize locally grown, seasonally fresh and whole or minimally processed ingredients.
