Berkeley cafeterias going organic 

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Forget about mystery meat. Berkeley's school
cafeterias are going organic. The city's school board is expected to
approve a plan today that would give students the option of munching on
pesticide-free baby carrots and sandwiches made with organic bread. The
food would be grown in school gardens and purchased from local organic
farmers. Milk would be certified clean of bovine growth hormones. "That's
pretty rare - and pretty expensive - but Berkeley is an unusual place,"
said Rick DeBurgh, who added that he has never heard of schools serving
organic cafeteria fare in his 22 years with the California School Food
Services Association. See full story
