to sufficient, nutritionally adequate and culturally acceptable food

When I attended the ROC Statewide meeting on March 3 in San Francisco I was simultaneously inspired and disappointed by what I observed. On the one hand, I was inspired by the momentum and resources being placed behind such a necessary and important vision. On the other hand, I was disappointed that there were so few people of color in attendance, that the vision was not entirely inclusive of truly diverse perspectives and that the leadership of ROC, and those who were its spokes people, were mostly of homogenous ethnic and political backgrounds.
