Michelle Obama plans to spend $400 million dollars a year on her Let's Move initiative's  "ambitious goal" of eliminating "food deserts"  in the U.S. -- making sure every low-income person in the country has the option of purchasing healthy food at a grocery story less than one mile from home.  (See yesterday's article on the subject.)  Whenever you hear the phrase "ambitious goal" it's not a surprise that the budget estimate is only seed money.  After I posted the Food Desert article, an earlier quote from the First Lady turned up on a website called Ecorazzi:

With a modest initial investment of about $400 million a year, we're going to use that money to leverage hundreds of millions of more from private and nonprofit sectors to bring grocery stores and other food retailers to under-served communities all across this country.
