Description

TIME FOR LUNCH FOLKS! and a picnic dinner...
IT’S TIME to get better, fresher foods in our school lunches. IT’S TIME to teach our children how REAL FOOD is grown, where it comes from and what it taste like.
IT’S TIME to put “junk food” in its place.

JOIN Chickin Feed and Cooking for Monkeys for a picnic “Eat-IN” at the closing of the Decatur Book Festival to show support for reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act. We are fired up about this great campaign by Slow Food USA to put REAL FOOD in schools! (http://www.slowfoodusa.org/timeforlunch)

We'll have an Action Sheet from SlowFood Atlanta & GA Organics so you can leave a message for your legislators and some fun Advocacy sheets for the little chickins! CLICK, PRINT & MAIL (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wded98ZufbY/Snmo5PoGTZI/AAAAAAAAAWc/t_4oyy9UiHY/s1600-h/RealFoodAdvocacy.jpg)
