Today I am meeting with the district Nutrition Director to get a tour of my kid's cafeteria. They do have a few district central kitchen's where they make some food from "scratch" and I will tour one of those kitchens today also. It's a start. I also am advocating for more activity in the school garden (to include all grades - not just 4th).

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If so, than this video is worth ten thousand! See with your own eyes how the food in schools could transform with farm to school support in the Child Nutrition Act. Visit www.onetray.org for more info.

In my experience when children are educated to the level where they them selves can make informed decisions about their own eating habits, they are very quick and adaptable to safer choices for their own health. I wish more people and educators would pick up on this point action. You are doing a Great Job!

I agree Rany...unfortunately the actual educators (teachers) have no say on school food. At the school where I teach, and my son attends, we now have a salad bar! A little more peace of mind on those days when I allow him to buy lunch.

I'm very interested in hearing about this Child Nutrition Reauthorization!

I just saw that there was school nutrition stuff in the GIVE act. I'm hoping it's not going to reinforce the current "nutrition" in our schools.
