San Francisco Mayor Reshapes How Residents Think of Food

An executive directive by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom requires all city departments to conduct an audit of unused land that could be converted into gardens. So far, the public library has planted gardens in two of its branches along with the Department of Public Works, McLaren Lodge in Golden Gate Park and the San Francisco Police Academy. The directive also calls for food vendors that contract with the city and vending machines on city property to offer healthy food.
