'Love Indonesian

'Love Indonesian
food' campaign

From Sinar Pagi

The 'Love Indonesian food' campaign (ACMI) should be
intensified until it becomes a grassroots movement. No less than
the Minister of Food/Chairman of the Logistics Board has appealed
that heads of government institutions provide traditional food
for important occasions. Also, hotel proprietors are called on to
serve Indonesian food.

ACMI seeks to ensure that tempe or soybean cake is not driven
away by hamburger as a result of globalization. Imported foods
are not necessarily more nutritious than traditional foods.

Therefore, the second long-term development plan should give
proper attention to the importance of traditional food.
