"Give that woman a hard hat."
Janet Napolitano may not be able to secure our borders, but she is now tacking the world's food crisis-one small handful of dirt at a time.

Apparently, Janet got the brainstorm for all this while dining at Alice's Restaurant.
The idea for the initiative was sparked by a dinner conversation between Napolitano and nationally-renown chef, activist and restaurateur Alice Waters — a UCSB alumna and UC Berkeley graduate — during the president’s visit to Waters’ restaurant, Chez Panisse. During the dinner, Napolitano, Waters and UC Chancellors discussed global food-related issues and how the UC could potentially play a role in helping to nutritionally and sustainably feed the world.
The UC also plans to encourage sustainable food practices, integrate food issues into curriculum, data mine to develop responses to climate change and to enact new policies allowing small, local growers to serve as suppliers for UC campuses, according to Montiel.
So relax, World. Your order will be out in just a few centuries.

Now Gary, you are old enough to remember that Arlo Guthrie was singing about a restaurant owned by some other Alice in western Massachusetts.
Of course. Why do you think it's in there.
PS: I'll bet Janet ate at that restaurant too.
I didn't know Janet had ever been east of the Mississippi before she went to Washington. There was an unfortunate Peter Principal at work in President Obama's initial cabinet appointments. Janet Napolitano was doing well as governor of Arizona, so was Sibelius in Kansas, and Lord knows the Democrats needed people who could win elections in those states... plenty of capable people with professional expertise could have headed cabinet agencies.
