Two bills

One of the blog's readers passes along this link to a bill introduced by Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y. The bill would authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to make grants to community organizations with the purpose of increasing access to fruits and vegetables. Note the comment on Buyers' letter Part 2 that also refers to a food safety-oriented bill just introduced by Rep. José Serrano, D-N.Y. That bill H.R. 215, would require consumers to be notified if food products were produced on land where sewage sludge was applied.
