During the Caucus the question of whether to include Section 6.3 Sustainabl=
e
Food in some kind of report/affirmation came up. I was wondering what that
section's logic/inclusion choice was. Was it more towards making the plan
comprehensive or was there some strong student backing for the idea of
local/organic food when possible, or some other reason?
