Food Policy Advisory Council Looking For Members
KENTUCKY...
Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson and health officials are looking for people to fill the new Food Policy Advisory Council.
Abramson announced on Friday the creation of the council, which will include at least 15 people who will meet a half-dozen times a year. The idea is to have a diverse group of people from restaurants, groceries, farms and schools to find ways to make healthier foods available.
The mayor's Healthy Hometown movement earlier this year received a nearly $8 million federal grant. Abramson says the council is a strategy for reducing obesity in the community.
