Ron Finley brings fresh vegetables to food deserts in LA

I'm sure that many of you have heard of him.  In the most unlikely of places, he helps people's physical and mental health by organizing the growing of vegetables. He has even influenced the government to allow for more of this, to improve the life of the community.

I love this dude.  He's one of my heroes.   I ordered a magnet from his site that sits on my fridge and says "growing your own food is like printing your own money"  

He could obviously make a lot more money doing something else. I think it's wonderful that he's bringing high quality food to so many who don't find it available.  The better you eat, the better you feel. The better you feel, the more you can contribute.    Nice to see someone offering such a positive alternative in some of these neighborhoods where people complain that all that is available is drug dealing and crime.
