If billboards showed farms not french fries

RootDown LA’s Food Systems Mural at Manual Arts High School in South LA shows – our food system has changed in the past 100 years..we’re getting too many additives in processed foods, and not enough nutrients from whole foods!

Thanks to Roxana Reyes and her team of artists who completed this mural in Winter, 2009.  They made a powerful point when they asked Manual Arts students, “What do you want to see on the walls and billboards surrounding the neighborhood?  Corporate advertising for unhealthy food or the images of healthier food and the abundance of it we can find even in urban areas…?”
